If you mean: "generate French as good as Massimo's shouldn't be too
hard", you are probably right ;-)

No, I mean: is he well connected with the government, the majority
leaders, the press... or is he just another random Senateur?

This would be great... I am in a position to turn down Word or Excel
e-mail ("send me something I can read or get lost"), but our secretary
is forced to upgrade often to the latest and greatest MS software (and
Intel hardware) to interoperate, there go big lumps of money "stolen"
from cool toys and exotic trips ... er ... from the progess of Science
I meant.
Of course, nothing will happen in Italy, but maybe Paris first,
Bruxelles next, finally we will be "forced" to do sometring.
