Giovanni Goria was 44 when appointed in 1987 as the 47th Prime Minister. Kindly “observe” better.

Seems that PBS have changed their mind – maybe somebody gave them a call from the Auberge de Castille.

This evening PBS reported that at 39, Renzi is two months younger than Mussolini was when il Duce became prime minister of Italy.

PBS reported this morning that Renzi will be the EU’s youngest current Prime Minister.

Move over, Joseph Muscat.

Jozef, I have always felt that things went tits up for Italy after that Garibaldi bloke engineered a bloody coup d’état (he was a Frenchman, so it figures).

Discuss.

But Joseph is well on the way to becoming a “European heavyweight”.

Just look at these photos: I think the Italians have found their very own Joseph Muscat. http://www.vanityfair.it/news/italia/13/11/19/intervista-renzi-vanity-fair

Air Malta spends millions to:-

1. train its pilots;

2. keep its pilots from going to other airlines;

3. keep the pilots’ union happy;

4. give pilots early retirement and golden handshakes;

5. hire new pilots.

Go back up to 1 and repeat.

He won’t actually be. The youngest was professor Goria, back in the late 70s (or early 80s) who was 35 when appointed. He did not last very long – as was, and still is, usual in the tangled web of Italian politics – and died quite young.

Renzi will not be a ‘prime minister’.
