"Speech ready, I certainly do not let myself be caught unprepared", but these hours "I am living very quietly".
Thus the senator for life Liliana Segre addressed to journalists who, in the buvette, question her about the day of tomorrow, when she - as the oldest senator in the Chamber - she will preside in the Senate the first session of the nineteenth legislature.
Segre points out that in life "sometimes things happen that one really does not expect".
Excited for tomorrow's presidency?
"It certainly excites me, but I'm used to being myself."
She then she remembers the first time she entered the classroom: "I did not even know where I was supposed to sit even though there was a plate".
This time, however, will not be able to make a mistake?
"Oh yes - he replies - I also tried the chair and they put a pillow for my back ...".
"
I'm watching, I'm at the window
", she replies to those who ask her how she sees the beginning of the nineteenth legislature, in difficult times for the country and in the sign of a right-wing majority.
"I look at what happens - continues Segre - before it happens I can't know what will happen".
