Russia and Italy are united by the love of art and the "desire for freedom": Russian President Vladimir Putin stated this today when he met a young Italian at the International Youth Forum in Sochi.
This was reported by the Tass agency.
It is the second time in about two weeks that Putin has highlighted the closeness between the two countries, as he did on February 20 in a conversation during a forum in Moscow with student Irene Cecchini.
