Rome312 schools evacuated over one emailed bomb threat.
Identical threats reached Ireland, Northern Ireland and Bulgaria, and leaders fear a coordinated hybrid campaign.
The email, signed with a Russian name already sent to European broadcasters, claimed a remote-detonated bomb sat in each Italy school.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said investigations found no evidence of concrete danger, and no authority has attributed the emails.
Meloni’s cabinet holds an emergency meeting Wednesday afternoon.
