World-renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli is giving a private concert on Tuesday to an audience that includes Florida’s Ron DeSantis, state agency heads and Italian businessmen and dignitaries as the Republican governor leads a week-long trade-mission in Italy. The private concert was planned at Palazzo Borghese in Florence, with an expected crowd of about 200 people, according to a source familiar with the event. Bocelli invited Florida delegation members and Italian business leaders to see him sing at no cost to the delegation, the source said. TOP VIDEOS DeSantis’ trade-mission in Italy was announced on Friday, but the concert was not disclosed to the public as part of the itinerary. The governor’s office did not respond to a request for comment about the concert. The governor is leading an 85-person delegation in a trade mission that has so far included stops in Rome, Viareggio and Florence, and will continue the rest of the week in Turin and Milan.
The trade mission comes on the heels of an election that was largely seen as a victory for Republicans in the state and for DeSantis, who defeated two ballot initiatives on abortion and marijuana that he staunchly opposed. While abroad, DeSantis has also learned that he will have the opportunity to appoint someone to the U.S. Senate as president-elect Trump is expected to name Marco Rubio as his secretary of state.

It was great to discuss relations between Florida and Italy with the Prime Minister today in Rome. We hope that Florida and Italy’s relationship continues to grow, and we welcome greater investment from Italian companies in our state.
Thank you for hosting us, Prime Minister… pic.twitter.com/i78wJgGjxN— Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) November 12, 2024
please clap.
“The governor is leading an 85-person delegation in a trade mission that has so far included stops in Rome, Viareggio and Florence, and will continue the rest of the week in Turin and Milan.”
...and then they wonder why we have such an “attitude” around here....
History is very clear—overconfidence and arrogance in a time of victory has never ended well.
Make the World Florida
Your jealousy is unbecoming ...
Largely seen? It was an empirical ass beating of epic proportions. Anyone who describes it as anything other than that is a socialist shill.
We have some nice alligator and python leather to trade...
Hope DeSantis is alert to every possible way he can be charged with receiving undue favors. That leftist newspaper in Miami will latch onto the smallest sign of influence peddling.
Preface the article with the Miami Herald hates GOP in general and DeSantis and Trump in particular. That said, I had no idea we had that much trade with Italy. Interesting, the dem mayor of Jacksonville is back from her swing through London and Italy. Get back soon Ron, looks like another storm on the way.

Leftists don’t like her much either. I think it was on her watch that Italy offered asylum to that kid the British were euthanizing.
Hopefully he’ll take rubios seat. Florida needs DeSantis badly. He’s been a complete success in Florida. He could have done to the United States what he’s done in Florida. But nope….
That seems to be the career path of successful FL Governors.
It’s a good one.
A fellow paesano wants to celebrate in a very Italian way after winning and that irks you?
The guy CRUSHED it in Florida over the last bunch of years.
E un uomo molto buono e un governatore ancora migliore. Spero che si diverta!!
Why go to the opera unless it’s Klingon?
You don’t consider this Trade Mission a worthwhile expenditure?
He deserves a break.
Well done in delivering FL.
I don’t know the details of it.
I hope for all of our sakes that it can be justified—not with spin—but with cold hard facts.
