Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi and
recently re-elected Lazio Governor Nicola Zingaretti held talks
on Thursday aimed at reaching areas of agreement.
The two had had several run-ins in recent months on issues
such as Rome's trash crisis and the water shortage it endured
last month and the tension escalated before the March 4 general
election and regional vote.
But the tone the pair adopted after Thursday's meeting was
different.
"We spoke about some issues that we can find alignment on,
something that I consider useful for Rome and for the region,"
Raggi said.
Zingaretti said the meeting was "an opportunity to start
over, to discuss issues that need closer cooperation".
Among the questions addressed were transport, trash and the
future of the site of the former Forlanini hospital.
