The French president, Emmanuel Macron, arrived in the evening at Palazzo Chigi, where he will have a working dinner with the premier Giuseppe Conte, the last appointment - according to the official agenda - of his lightning visit to Italy. Previously, Macron had been received at the Quirinale by President Mattarella. The French president was welcomed by Conte and national anthems. An interview between the two will be followed by statements to the press and work dinner. Macron's last meeting in Rome with an Italian head of government dates back to January 2018, with Paolo Gentiloni still in office. The leader of the Elysée then went to the Vatican, a few months later, in June, received an audience with the Pope. In the morning, Conte had met the Libyan leader al-Sarraj.
