(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 24 - The late two-time former president
Giorgio Napolitano was an "extraordinary pro-European" who
believed firmly that Italy's strength lies in its position
within Europe, European Commissioner for Economic Affairs and
former Italian premier Paolo Gentiloni said on Sunday.
"He was an extraordinary pro-European who always had the idea
that Italy's development and strength would be possible within a
European horizon. His was a great lesson," said Gentiloni after
paying his respects in the chapel of rest at the Senate. (ANSA).
