While Conte is thinking about primaries and manifestos, his team is doing better. Or rather, no: they’re going one better. In fact, Conte’s supporters are thinking about aliens.

The traffic jam in the city centre and Cateno De Luca’s messages to Onorato: “I’m issuing you a public challenge: you choose the day and time, and we’ll face each other in the open.” De Luca is standing against La Vardera in Sicily, backed by Onorato. But who will support Giuseppe Conte?
