The FIGC, in fact, had asked to be able to use an open bus after the visit to the Quirinale. But the authorization was also denied by the Ministry of the Interior Lamorgese. It was then proposed to mount a platform in Piazza del Popolo to pick up the players who would have celebrated with the fans who came. But even this solution was not taken into consideration.
“We were assured that the transfer would take place with a covered bus. Instead, shortly after leaving the Quirinale, an open-top bus with the livery and lettering dedicated to the European champions joined up”, added Piantedosi who then closes with a sentence that leaves room for reflection: “I hope that Italy will win the World Cup next year to have the same celebrations: we will deal directly with the players”.
