Napolitano Giorgio

There are only two known places in which you always see the same faces any time you step in: a cemetery and the Italian Government buildings. And the two places are very similar if we consider the average age of its occupants. Anyway, is a logical choice. The struggle in Italy is now between old establishment and new emerging forces, the new forces (like Beppe Grillo and his "Movimento a cinque stelle") being openly determined to wipe away the old political class. Napolitano is one of the best representatives of the old establishment and I'm sure he will find a way to put together the traditional parties against the emerging wolves.
