A PD insider confides that Cesare Paladino met with Trump’s senior representative: “Let’s just say I meet a lot of people.” And regarding the purchase of the Plaza, “interest remains”. As for the price, “we’re in talks but we’re waiting for more acceptable terms”.

The roman Plaza Hotel is not as famous as its New York counterpart, but it has a history of its own. Today it is owned by the Paladino family, the partners of "Giuseppi" Conti, and has caught the eye of Zampolli, Trump’s plenipotentiary. In the past, Mascagni, Enzo Tortora and De Michelis stayed there. The great banker J.P. Morgan died there.
