Deputy Premier Luigi Di Maio said
Tuesday that the government has decided to nominate popular
comedy actor Lino Banfi to represent Italy at a UNESCO
committee.
"We have given Lino Banfi UNESCO World Heritage status," said
5-Star Movement leader Di Maio at an event to present the
government's 'citizenship wage' basic income.
"A hug to Banfi but I would have chosen (superstar tenor)
Andrea Bocelli," said the other deputy premier, Interior
Minister Matteo Salvini.
