American First Lady
Michelle Obama is to host Italian Premier Matteo Renzi's wife
Agnese Landini during an official trip to Washington next week,
the White House said Friday.
Renzi and his wife are expected to reach the U.S. capital
on the evening of October 17 for a visit lasting through October
19, the premier's office said.
The Italian premier is scheduled meet with U.S. President
Barack Obama on Tuesday, followed by a joint press conference
and dinner at the White House. On Wednesday, he will speak at
Johns Hopkins University.
Meanwhile Michelle Obama will give the Italian first lady a
tour of the Kitchen Garden, which she planted in the spring of
2009 with the help of local elementary schoolchildren.
Landini will also be treated to a performance by students
from a school in the Turnaround Arts program, which was set up
by the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities of
which Michelle Obama is honorary president.
The Committee has developed educational programs in 68
schools across 13 states and Washington, DC, since 2011.
