Having said that, if the governments are weak in Italy, as we've seen in the past, and they do collapse from time to time, the president steps in to try and form a coalition and has a great deal of power whenever that takes place.
I don't think it's going to be the host of Dancing with the Stars, but it's quite possible that you could have an outsider, like one person that's being talked about is Mario Draghi, who was the successful banker and a former technocrat.
He was a technocratic prime minister, and he could be a potential consensus candidate.
I think he would be quite popular.
This is getting a lot of attention.
This group of conservative breakaway Catholics has defied Pope Leo by ordaining bishops without his consent.
It's called the Society of St Pius X. It's been around for quite a while in defiance of the Vatican, and it's just consecrated four bishops, one from Switzerland, one from France, and two from the US, and they face excommunication.
Will he go ahead?
I haven't seen it officially confirmed, but it says that all of these characters now face automatic excommunication.
Well, I wish it was bigger because in my neighbourhood, ever since COVID ended, every restaurant and every bar has seemed to extend all its restaurant tables or the little tables out on the street.

Well, it looks like this is a possibility because I think the restaurant lobby is so powerful.
They want to extend not only their own territory, but now the City Hall is under so much pressure, the Town Hall, that it has announced plans to let bookshops do the same thing, trying to save the bookshops by allowing them to serve food and drink.
Well, it feels like 30 degrees, but there is a wave of thunderstorms sweeping across Italy and we're due for some in Rome tonight, so that should bring the temperature down.
But expect more heat waves next week.
Wow.
I mean, reverberations around the world, as we know, after Donald Trump accused Prime Minister Giorgio Melani of begging him for a photo at the G7.
Was there a bit of misogyny there?
I don't know.
I think he's free falling with a lot of attacks on various people.
