A new 'Parentopoli nepotism row
involving the government broke out Wednesday amid news that the
son of Senate Speaker Ignazio La Russa, Geronimo, had been
appointed culture ministry rep a Milan's prestigious Piccolo
Theatre.
The centre-left opposition Democratic Party (PD) regional caucus
head for Lombardy, Pierfrancesco Majorino, called the
appointment "hard to justify" and added "I hope he leaves his
father's Mussolini memorabilia at home".
The case follows the hiring by the Italian Soccer Federation
(FIGC) of the daughter of Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti
and the son of Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio
Tajani.
