Waiting after Pombili. And the Ferryman hypothesis appears

RIETI – The style is different and not just for pronunciation. But the common point is always found, and the key word between Rieti and Verona was Pompili. Saturday was the day of the new bishop of Verona and, essentially, the official farewell to “his” Don Domenico from the city of Rite. In the Cathedral of Santa Maria Auxiliatris, which was filled to the brim, there were about 200 seats, out of a total of 900, reserved for Rites. A small invasion of clergy and fellow citizens.
