She spoke to TeleVomero and revealed President Pallotta had called her personally.

“He apologised for what happened and said he was incensed. I was pleased with his call, it was a nice gesture.

“We agreed to speak again to sort out common initiatives for the association ‘Ciro Vive.’ He said he’s supportive of what I am doing and wants to meet up for a coffee so we can discuss working together.”
