(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 22 - Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni said Wednesday she did not have the powers to dry up rivers as she addressed the Lower House before this week's EU summit.
    "I'm not Moses, dear Bonelli," she told the Greens and Left Alliance lawmaker Angelo Bonelli, who had earlier accused the government of underestimating the current water-shortage crisis especially in northern Italy.
    During his speech Bonelli produced two large stones from the bed of the dry Adige River in northern Italy.
    "I assume you don't mean to say that in five months I drained the Adige River, not even Moses could have done that," Meloni quipped. (ANSA).
