Calenda and Rosato's secret meeting with Bignami at the FdI group

The couple's visit didn't go unnoticed. Carlo Calenda and his right-hand man Ettore Rosato showed up at the Brothers of Italy group on the fifth floor of the Chamber of Deputies the day before yesterday afternoon . Despite the discretion requested by the Azione leader, the news quickly spread through the building. The Brothers of Italy group leader , Galeazzo Bignami, was there waiting for the two. And immediately, the reports of this secret meeting, which Il Foglio is able to reveal, went wild like pinball machines. There's now a fair amount of literature on the relationship between Calenda and Giorgia Meloni's party: the leader attending the Azione congress, the former minister announcing he won't be running a list in the Marche region, distancing himself from the broad camp of Democratic Party member Matteo Ricci, and even fantasy scenarios of right-wing support in Rome for Calenda's mayoral candidacy. In short, a whole lot of it. That's why the meeting the other day with the leader of the FdI group, Bignami, immediately took on a satisfying flavor . Over coffee, the two delegations might have discussed issues and legislation, perhaps. Such as the Melonians' support for Calendri's proposed laws on energy and Industry 4.0.

Rosato jokes: "It wasn't me, you made a mistake with Undersecretary Andrea Delmastro, who everyone says resembles me." This is also part of the game, of course. The relationship between Carlo and Giorgia, both deeply Roman despite their opposing political and personal backgrounds, is certainly there and strong. One notable point of contact concerns, for example, the upcoming electoral law : if a regional election-style model were to pass, with the coalition nominating the prime ministerial candidate, the leader of Azione would do wonders. Because this scenario would allow him to distinguish himself from a broad center-left alliance led by Elly Schlein that includes everything from Avs to Iv, including the M5S. And so the 4% threshold would no longer be a taboo. There's time for that. But in the meantime, a question remains: what did Calenda and Rosato say to Bignami the other day?
