Buenos Aires, November 19 (NA) -- President Javier Milei met this morning with Italian musician Andrea Bocelli, who is in the country after a series of shows. In this way, the head of state, an opera fan, will meet with the singer at the Casa Rosada, according to the Argentine News Agency. In the morning, waiters brought canapés and bruschettas to the White Salon for the reception. At the door, members of the Military House awaited the arrival of guests, which would include diplomats from the Italian Embassy in Argentina. The head of state arrived at the Casa Rosada at 9:50 and has since been holding private meetings in his offices on the first floor. The Italian did the same at 11:20. According to the Argentine News Agency, the Italian will perform a brief five-song repertoire for the small group of officials who will gather to listen to him. Additionally, he will be decorated by the libertarian administration. Notably, the mini-concert will take place ahead of the testimony of former ANDIS head Diego Spagnuolo at Comodoro Py, within the framework of the case for an alleged request for bribes through the entity. At the end of October, Bocelli sang for U.S. President Donald Trump in the Oval Office of the White House, prior to the bilateral exchange the Republican held with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The first was on Monday, November 17, at the Teatro Colón, and the second, a date added after the first call sold out, was on Tuesday, 18, at the San Isidro Racetrack. Years earlier, in 2016, during Trump's first presidency, he had rejected the offer that was ultimately made as a "diplomatic act." The Italian starred in two shows in the country as part of his tour of the continent. He will continue his tour on November 21 and 22 in São Paulo, Brazil, and then travel to Dallas, United States.
