Italy’s prime minister Mario Draghi is to hold a meeting in Rome with Facebook founder and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Thursday, 5 May.
According to reports, the meeting will reportedly take place in government offices at Palazzo Chigi at 10.00.
After being spotted on the streets of Siena on Monday, Zuckerberg also travelled to Turin and Milan, where he met EssilorLuxottica chairman Leonardo Del Vecchio on Wednesday.
