Aspettando il Papa a Napoli

Gennaro Matino

Papa Francesco presto sarà a Napoli, ed è già forte da ora l'entusiasmo di una città che non vede l'ora di incontrarlo.

Spero che il suo entusiasmo rilanci proprio da Napoli il suo desiderio di rinnovamento

Judith Harris

The twelfth president of the Italian Republic is Sergio Mattarella, 74, constitutional court judge and former cabinet minister.
