The Russian leader had time to visit several major cities of the country. He began with a visit to Milan, where he held talks with the Prime Minister, after they both opened the Day of Russia at the exhibition “EXPO-2015″. Following Putin went to meet with the Italian President.

“The day was very interesting and informative. Good job with the head of the government,” – Vladimir Putin said to him.

And one of the most debated points of the visit, around which rose hype even before Putin arrived in Italy, – meeting the Pope. The Russian president and the pope exchanged views on some issues (behind closed doors). And – presents: this part was open to the press, and journalists immediately saw the symbolism in the fact that Francis gave a medal with the image of an angel, a peacemaker. Even more so – on the background of militancy of the American ambassador to the Vatican: Ken Hackett tried to put pressure on the Pope, that he condemned Moscow’s position on Ukraine.

This is unprecedented in diplomatic practice, commented on the situation in the Kremlin.

“This is new, from our point of view, a new word in the world diplomatic practice. Of course, so to speak, to teach the Pope something and pretend to be entitled to teach the Pope – this thing is very responsible. But seriously, then perhaps it is a blatant case of trying to suppress the sovereignty of other countries. In another way to describe it is impossible “, – said Dmitry Peskov.

And returning to the subject of negotiations between Vladimir Putin and Matteo Renzi. They summed up the dialogue on a joint press conference and statements are: Russia and Italy aimed at to develop co-operation – in spite of the sanctions.
