Matteo #Renzi, former Italian PM, the man who started Italy's government crisis.
This week as the crisis rolls on, he could be found chatting with Saudi crown prince Mohammad bin Salman. Renzi said "Saudi Arabia could be the place for a new Renaissance."
This conversation took place during the Future Investment Initiative, an annual investment forum under the patronage of Saudi's royal family.
Renzi is on the Board of Trustees of the Future Investment Initiative Institute, which organizes the conference.
It's important to note that numerous speakers, including officials and CEOs, and media partners pulled out of the event in 2018, after the Saudi government was accused of killing Saudi journalist Jamal #Khashoggi
