No doubt they’ll be talking about Oil / Gas / and illegal immigration, seeing as most of the boats making land on Sicily are leaving from Gedaffiland.
As usual, the Libyan leader will be sleeping in a tent (in Villa Borghese) much to the distress of joggers and secret lovers.
My name is Imigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
