At the Genoa Boat Show, Silvia Salis stays outside the ribbon-cutting while Giorgia Meloni is at the center of the ceremony. The mayor represents the city hosting the event: her presence is not a concession, and the respect for her role cannot depend on political color. Salis responds by recalling a simple principle: those who hold a public office serve the institutions, they do not become their owners. No theatrics, no competition of insults. A firm response that puts back at the center the meaning of her mandate. This is what makes the scene so unedifying for Meloni: celebrating an excellence of Genoa while the representative of the city remains on the sidelines. The arrogance of power is also measured by the ease with which it is accepted that another institution is placed in the background. The sense of institutions, on the other hand, emerges in the respect granted even to opponents. In this affair, Silvia Salis has shown style and dignity. Palazzo Chigi would do well to take example from it. (translated)
