"On behalf of everyone, I send my best wishes to Senator Pier Ferdinando Casini for a good recovery: he is in the hospital and he is not here with us today".
This was stated by the President of the Senate Elisabetta Alberti Casellati before giving the floor to Prime Minister Mario Draghi.
His words were followed by unanimous applause from the Assembly of Palazzo Madama.
In recent days it was Casini himself who announced, during a telephone connection with Aria che Tira: "I have Covid, but I'm fine"
