(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 27 - Shortly before the consultations began, the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella greeted the journalists present at the Quirinale in a drastically reduced presence due to the anti-Covid measures.
The accredited press was waiting in the Ballroom, an unusual arrangement given that by custom the chroniclers wait in the Sala alla Vetrata. The president met journalists on his way to the office where the President of the Senate Elisabetta Casellati was waiting for him to start the consultations. The head of state approached the reporters, seated spaced apart, and said: "I take this opportunity to wish you good work, it's a particular situation but we are in the party hall". (HANDLE).
