The event drew on the momentum of Ciotti’s latest electoral victory. Long rows of tables filled the site, while a close ally joked that the UDR president now had “many new friends.” Ciotti’s book, “I Regret Nothing,” was also on sale at the entrance.

With the presidential election in view, Ciotti sought to demonstrate to his supporters that the route he has chosen to return national governance to the right is the only possible one. “The best is yet to come,” organizers announced.

The best is yet to come.
