Mass first morning to the church of the Holy Apostles, then walk up to the View where she works to the speech tomorrow, finally contact with his two predecessors Carlo Azeglio Ciampi and Giorgio Napolitano to share “concerns” and the weight of the role that is preparing to play . It ‘the first day as president of the Republic of Sergio Mattarella.
ROME. in the early morning Mass at the Church of the Holy Apostles, then walk up to the View, where he worked at the speech tomorrow, finally contact with his two predecessors Carlo Azeglio Ciampi and Giorgio Napolitano to share “concerns” and the weight of the role that is about to be filled. It ‘the first day as president of the Republic of Sergio Mattarella. The new head of state feels the importance of the moment. It is understood from the few words which escape its confidentiality.
“Pray for me that I may be an instrument for the good of the country,” he said to a group of nuns who greet him at the exit of the church and that the “tear” a photograph before they will move on foot back to the Constitutional Court.
For once Mattarella leaves the old gray Panda who accompanied him these days and stroll in downtown Rome. Not by a huge crowd (people who meet him bestow applause and shouts of encouragement which responds gracefully) As for respect, like all other citizens of Rome, the city block traffic. A choice of simplicity and sobriety, like the one that wants to impress at the start of his seven.
During the short walk to the new head of state row straight without responding to questions from journalists or stop in front of the cameras. Just come to the Consulta want to call Ciampi. A long and loving phone call to his predecessor: “I am grateful for everything you have done for the country – he says – You can understand what are my concerns. ‘
E ‘the formal handover from one president to another that is realized in the afternoon with a visit to the home of Napolitano. Also this time on foot for a description of the “dossier” on the table at the Quirinale. Another nice walking in the streets of central Rome, besieged by cameras for a few minutes that block traffic on Via Nazionale. Mattarella already is working as president. The speech is being developed, is setting the presidential staff and is working on folders and roles open to the judge of the Constitutional Court to be delivered to his colleagues.
No passage is left to chance. The only concessions that grants are those related to family life. Sprout also some photos of the time of his election to the home of her daughter lived in the Flaminio district. Images that break the stereotype of the cold and serious. You see Mattarella smiling while is celebrated by his large family: there are the children, grandchildren who embrace and closest friends.
It looks like a slice of life of a normal Italian family although, in this case, is celebrated the election of one of its members as head of state. To give color to the days we think then one of the ladies who met him at the end of the morning Mass, even ripping a photo with his cell phone. It’s called Pina, working in a café-restaurant near the Vatican. Show all the pictures with the new head of state: “It ‘was a unique emotion. He was very nice and polite. A gentleman,” he explains. Then announces the launch of the new specialty of his bar: “The sandwich of the president”, of course.
In the speech tomorrow Italians, the crisis and reforms
ROME. So much Italian, the needs and hopes of citizens, glimpses of real life with the difficulties marked by crises, reforms and injections of adrenaline to push the country out of resignation. Days are critical to Sergio Mattarella already heavily engaged in writing his speech to both Houses with the closest collaborators.
That confirms: “It will certainly be an intervention dry”, in search of condensing direct messages in a short time. A speech yet to close but that certainly will be directed to those who voted in Parliament and who has not voted in the name of the role of absolute guarantee that Mattarella wants to set in stone right now.
An immediate search, almost instinctive unity of the country: unity and alliance of intent to get out of the doldrums of the crisis all together headed toward a new and more modern republic through changes to make sure but with accuracy.
He feels the weight of responsibility the now former judge of the Constitutional Court and the exterior in a phone call to former President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi. “Thanks” then Napolitano in a direct conversation – in private – over an hour which is sealed with a hug heard the door of the house in the Monti former president.
It was a routine meeting that took place in the home of Mr and Mrs Napolitano: “We exchanged some opinion”, merely to report Mattarella with the understatement that characterizes. Certainly Napolitano, with its nine years of experience that crown as “record holder” of permanence to the Hill, will Mattarella dispensed in a series of recommendations on the management of the presidential car. A consultation at the highest level that has given the new president also points to the backbone of the discourse that is building and updates on the dossiers quirinalizi that inevitably Tuesday glide on his desk.
The speech to both Houses, confirm his collaborators, will move right on the lines indicated in fifteen words yesterday by the same Mattarella: “Direct relationship with Italians, great attention to people’s needs, interventions to hook the recovery, the international consistency and the indispensability of the European Union. ” Not forgetting, of course, the reforms that have marked much of the seven-Giorgio Napolitano. Even and especially economic ones, that maybe people waiting with much apprehension.
