'I used to drive only Alfas' Johnson

(ANSA) - Rome, December 1 - British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson told Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni at bilateral talks on the fringes of a Med Dialogues forum in Rome Thursday that he used to drive nothing but Alfa Romeo".
    Johnson said he was a great fan of Italian products and would like to end the 'prosecco row' that pitted him against Industry Minister Carlo Calenda a couple of weeks ago.
    Johnson and Gentilon's talks took place in an atmosphere of great cordiality, according to those present.
    On November 16, Calenda described Johnson's remarks that Italy will end up softening its Brexit position because the UK imports a lot of prosecco, or Italian sparkling wine, as "a bit insulting".
