Politicians’ Holidays: Half the Government in Puglia, Mattarella in the Dolomites

Sea or mountains. As long as it is in Italy, the favorite destination of Italian politicians, both in government and otherwise. But there are those who have also chosen destinations beyond the border. Like the leader of Azione, Charles Calendawho shortly before leaving, in the last few days, had posted a photo of himself on a sunbed holding “Istanbul” by Pamuk to announce his tour of Turkey, with his family, including a stop in Cappadocia (same destination and departure day as the group leader of Azione Matthew Richetti).

Even the secretary of the Democratic Party, Elly Schlein – extremely jealous of her privacy – could cross the Italian border a few kilometers for a short break from her “militant summer” in Lugano, with her family. Then, nothing is known. Just as little or nothing is leaking – except a tricolor destination – for the leader of the 5 Star Movement Joseph Conte who has decided to recharge his batteries in view of the autumn tour de force of the Five Star Constituent Assembly.

Puglia instead returns to lead the preferences of many politicians. Starting with the Prime Minister, Georgia Meloniin Salento, for about ten days. In Valle d’Itria his daughter is waiting for him Geneva and the ex-boyfriend Andrea Giambruno. In addition to her sister Arianna and Francesco LollobrigidaMinister of Agriculture and brother-in-law of the Prime Minister. Also at the farm was the Undersecretary Marcello Gemmato.

Salentine the minister’s holidays Anna Maria Bernini. He also chooses his Puglia Raffaele Fittobut far from the premier. While a few kilometers away from Meloni’s resort, there is the Li Reni estate of Bruno Wasp which only a few weeks ago hosted political debates and which in August – but in private – will register the presence of the Deputy Prime Minister, Matthew Salvini and his companion Francesca Verdini (with whom he will also spend a few days in the mountains after mid-August). Sardinia is instead the destination chosen by the leader of Italia Viva, Matthew Renziwho is spending a few days at the seaside on the island with his wife Agnes.

And in the age-old dispute between sea and mountains, the Dolomites prove to be a worthy adversary, earning the preference of the Head of State, Sergio Mattarellaarrived on Sunday in Dobbiaco (Bolzano), a South Tyrolean town also chosen last year to spend a few days of rest. Cortina d’Ampezzo confirms itself as an obligatory stop for Daniela Santanchè (but establishing its summer headquarters in Versilia, in Pietrasanta) and for the government colleague Elizabeth Casellati. Compromise choice – sea and mountains (Dolomites) – for the minister Paul Zangrillohis wife and three children.

Maurizio Lupileader of Noi Moderati, will postpone his rest period until after the Rimini Meeting. Destination Alpiaz-Montecampione, in Val Camonica.

Neither the sea (or at most the bare minimum in Santa Marinella, on the northern coast of Lazio), nor the mountains for the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Antonio Secreti. The blue leader – by tradition and net of international emergencies – will be with his family in the countryside of Fiuggi, less than an hour’s drive from Rome. And the countryside is also the choice of the minister Gilberto Pichetto Fratin who will return to the cool surroundings of Biella.

Between Liguria (in Zoagli, pearl of the Tigullio gulf) and Sicily, the rest period of the President of the Senate, Ignatius LaRussa. Puglia again, but this time on the Gargano spur, for Lorenzo Fontana. The President of the Chamber will close the period of rest in his Verona. Southern Italy and then the sea of ​​Sicily for the secretary of the Italian Left and parliamentarian of Avs, Nicholas Fratoianni. Always holidays in the South with the family also for the secretary of Più Europa Riccardo Magi.
