Romano La Russa, the visions of the lieutenant-brother of Italy

The brother of the president of the Senate will be one of the fundamental pawns of the Melonian strategy in Lombardy. From family anecdotes to criticisms of the Sala junta, Fontana’s new security delegate talks about himself

“I was the son of a senator (Antonino La Russa, ed). I am now the brother of the president of the Senate. We are a family, it has never been a problem”. Romano La Russa, born in 1952, younger brother of Ignazio (1947) and Vincenzo (1938), the eldest. Regional councilor several times, he has been responsible for security in the Fontana junta for a few months. And if all goes – as the polls tell – it will be one of the key players of the Melonian strategy in Lombardy. Because Ignatius trusts his brother Romano, and how.

The anecdote of Paolo Berlusconi comes to mind, according to which, before moving to Milan, his older brother was a Rossoneri, only to change his mind under the Madonnina. Football stories aside, Romano says: “We have always done politics together. We have traveled all the way of militancy, raised with the myth of our father. And I have to say one thing: those who think that Ignazio does not say anything about him because he is president of the Senate do not really know him ”.
