PD deputies arrive in pieces, some in party buses, others in cars, to Gubbio for the two-day seminar at the Park Hotel ai Cappuccini in Gubbio, a 17th-century convent on the outskirts of the Umbrian town turned into a hotel with rooms conference facilities, wellness center and spa. Among the first to arrive at the meeting place were Matteo Orfini and Enzo Amendola, who arrived together by car. The reporters ask if there will be white smoke in the ‘conclave’ about Elly Schlein’s candidacy for the European Championship and Orfini avoids the question: “We will not smoke, at most a good glass of red wine”. To those who, however, wonder if the trip to a four-star resort was excessive or out of place and if the meeting could be held in Montecitorio, he says: “It can be done in many places. in Montecitorio but it is not a climate that allows dialogue, team spirit and being together is always useful.” After them, Piero Fassino arrives in Gubbio and, when asked “What conclave is this?”, he replies: “It’s a among many”.
