Excitement was high at Rome's
Alessandro Manzoni school and the whole of the Appio Latino
district that it belongs to for a visit by Queen Camilla on
Wednesday.
King Charles III's wife, who was accompanied by Education
Minister Giuseppe Valditara, was greeted by small children
waving union flags.
Wearing a white-and-black-polka-dot dress, Camilla was at the
school to meet pupils, teachers and Brian Young, the director of
the Italian branch of the British Council, which is celebrating
its 80th anniversary, and attend an English lesson with the
children.
The Queen awarded diplomas to the winners of a competition and
gave a selection of books to the headmistress of the school,
where former Roma captain Francesco Totti and Mayor Roberto
Gualtieri once studied.
"It's a joy to welcome the Queen, we're all happy", said the
headmistress, Simona Sinola.
