Today is Sergio Mattarella's day, the second after his re-election last Saturday, because he will be sworn in as President of the Republic. The program is pre-established by a special ceremony, enriched by the mandatory anti-Covid buffer for all those who will be in the classroom.
Yesterday in Montecitorio the latest inspections and tests; in the surrounding streets, barriers have been set up to stop traffic at the passage of presidential processions.
Everything will start at 15.30 ( HERE THE PROGRAM ): Mattarella will swear standing with the formula "I swear to be loyal to the Republic and to loyally observe the Constitution", then the Montecitorio bell will ring and the Janiculum cannon will fire 21 cannon volleys.
