FOUR-MINUTES LONG STANDING OVATION FOR PRESIDENT SERGIO MATTARELLA.

Yesterday, 7 December 2022, Maestro Riccardo Chailly inaugurated the 2022/2023 season at La Scala in Milan, and conducted Modest Mussorgsky’s “Boris Godunov”.
Upon his entrance to the “Royal Box”, the President of the Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella was welcomed by a four-minutes long standing ovation.
The audience, 2,000 selected guests (politicians, artists, Nobel Prize winners, musicians, journalists, etc.) kept on shouting ‘“GRAZIE PRESIDENTE” and “BRAVO”.

Next to President Mattarella, you can see the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, the Lord Mayor of Milan, the President of the Italian Senate and the Italian Prime Minister.

Immediately after, Maestro Chailly conducted the Italian national hymn AND the European Union hymn.

To remind you, President Mattarella was re-elected on 29 January 2022, after SEVEN voting rounds, where none of the candidates received the required vote quorum.

President Mattarella, who is 81 years old, had no intention to serve a second term, but accepted it, at great personal sacrifice.
He is respected, capable, decent, has integrity, and the international standing to be the “first servant of the country”.

GRAZIE, GRAZIE, GRAZIE, PRESIDENTE MATTARELLA!
