quotidiano.net (Italian)

Italy's 2026 budget tightens pension rules, effectively reinstating the stricter Fornero reform. Flexible retirement options like Quota 103 and Option Woman are eliminated. The standard retirement age remains 67 for both men and women, requiring 20 years of contributions. Early retirement at 41 or 42 years and 10 months of contributions is still available under Fornero law provisions. Ape Social and Quota 41 for early workers are minimally extended under stringent conditions, representing residual, limited pathways for specific disadvantaged groups.
