The two-day visit to Milan is Obama's first public trip abroad since he handed over his position in the White House to Donald Trump on January 20. Obama arrived in the capital of Lombardy before noon, after a short trip to the hotel where a group of admirers were waiting for him, he visited the Pinacoteca Ambroziana and then the Duomo Cathedral. In the afternoon, he had a private meeting with Matteo Renzi, who was recently re-elected as head of the ruling Democratic Party. Obama's team said the two leaders were close associates and had become good friends while in office. They will have dinner with twenty Milanese entrepreneurs at the Institute for International Policy Studies. Mayor Giuseppe Sala will hand over the keys to the city of Milan to Obama in a private ceremony tomorrow. Then the former president of the USA will speak at the world meeting on food dedicated this year to the impact of technology on climate change and food safety (Seeds&Chips - The Global Food Innovation Summit),
Obama's team stated that these are "topics that Obama has been dealing with for years." Obama will give a speech and then talk with former White House chef Sam Cass, who also served as a nutrition adviser. As reported by the Italian media, despite the price of 650 euros for those who registered before March 31, and 850 euros for others interested, there was a demand for a four-day pass for the conference. Healthy eating was also a topic that Michelle Obama dealt with when she was the American first lady.
