Mmm imo it is more
Follow your path, and let people talk.
It is a very polite way to say: do what you want and let people talk shit if the wish.

So this is episode 2billion of the gardian world beloved series "Italians can't do X, y or z". Things that we either know perfectly how to do or we know that would not work for that specific instance because we already tried.
This case fell perfectly in the former, our news do not want to report about heath wave problems and risks not because we deny them (it is kinda hard to deny being roasted) but because they have talked about it. A Lot. And since forever. To the point we have ancient jokes about it. We don't need to be reminded that water scarcity hits our agriculture or not go out at midday like mad dogs or englishmen. We know. And realistically common people cannot do much, except suffer. But the fact that now there is Mediterranean temperature in the baltic? Well that is actually news, and pretty scary.
Tl; Dr; the guardian reports on parallel italy. Again.
