Hollande and Renzi dine at celebrity chef Bottura's Modena eatery

(ANSA) - Modena, September 18 - French President Francois Hollande and Italian Premier Matteo Renzi spent roughly two hours together over dinner in Modena Thursday evening. The two went to the famed Italian restaurant Osteria Francescana where they were welcomed by its celebrity chef Massimo Bottura. After a two-hour dinner, the socialist French president and centre-left Italian premier - who is also head of the Democratic Party (PD) - attended Modena's Festa d'Unità (Unity Celebration), an event honouring of solidarity across the spectrum of Italy's political left, from the Italian Communist Party (ICP) to the Democratic Party (PD).
    Renzi explained to Hollande how the Festa d'Unità works as they toured the various stands.
