In the royal box at the premiere of Don Carlo, which inaugurates the opera season of La Scala, there will be among others the president of the Senate Ignazio La Russa, the mayor of Milan Giuseppe Sala, who is president of the theater and, for the first time, the senator for life Liliana Segre. Exactly in the first row of the royal box there will be La Russa’s wife, the president of the Senate, next to him Federica Belli Paci and then his mother Liliana Segre and also the mayor Sala and his partner Chiara Bazzoli.
It is the first time for senator for life Liliana Segre, who is a loyal visitor to La Scala but had never been a guest of the central box at Sant’Ambrogio. This confirmation concludes a day in which different hypotheses about the senator’s presence were ricocheted around with the hypothesis that she, the mayor and La Russa could all sit in the audience.
