La principessa, non la senatrice

Isn’t it a shame that the citizens of Rome & Lazio neglected to choose Princess Alessandra Borghese as their senator? Our favorite inhabitant of the Palazzo Borghese is a sound Catholic, is good friends with the Pope, and was seen from afar during our first pilgrimage to Rome; good enough reasons to get my vote. While the UDC won a respectable 36 seats in the population-based Chamber of Deputies (an acceptable loss of 3 seats since the last election), la Principessa was a candidate for the regionally-based Senate, in which the UDC won only 3 seats, a loss of 18 since the 2006 elections.

Another young royal vied for a parliamentary seat in the recent Italian election, but you will have to wait until the next Norumbega for our little overview of the results.
