I think it a really (really) bad choice of venue, with a Press influx, a recovering town and Berlusconi's ongoing crisis
(in his pants) causing Italian furore.

Mr Berlusconi hasn't explained his reasoning in it;but given that his reasoning in political choice seems to depend on bra-size,
whilst his associate is up for procurement- it will probably allow some light relief for the townspeople.
