    Citation cleanup, values unchanged: Utilities now cross-checked against the regulator's published typical-bill tables instead of its interactive portal (arera.it, arera.it); Housing, Airbnb (1 month) and Transportation dropped pages that show no price (EU oil-bulletin landing page, Airbnb monthly category); Apples gained an Esselunga shelf price of 2.68 euro a kilo (miaspesa.it); Bread, Rice, Chicken Fillets and Beef keep their basket value on the price-index page alone after the pasta-and-milk staples page was removed from lines it does not list.
