Italy is ready for the Group of
Seven summit in Taormina on May 26-27, Cabinet Secretary Maria
Elena Boschi told a press conference with Italian G7 officials
in the Sicilian city Monday.
"Italy is ready to present itself to the world," she told an
audience including premier's office Secretary-General Paolo
Aquilanti, G7 commissioner Riccardo Carpino, G7 structure
delegation chief Alessandro Modiano, Messina Prefect Francesca
Ferrandino and Taormina Mayor Eligio Giardina.
She said that, after there was a comment about the mafia in
Sicily, the summit was moved from Florence to Taormina and "we
overcame all the dated stereotypes".
"Also by respecting the work schedule without postponements
and with the necessary funds," she said.
Boschi added that authorised demonstrations must respect the
law and said the summit would be particular interesting for its
"international picture", including new French president Emmanuel
Macron.
