"At Fiumicino, when you dropped off your luggage, I witnessed a scene..." Thus began the social media outburst of actor and director Luca Zingaretti , who on Instagram recounted what happened at Leonardo da Vinci Airport, before boarding a flight to Olbia . "There was the wife of a national politician who walked past everyone, with her escort saying 'you're welcome, you're welcome. ' But I say: aren't you ashamed? Not even to go on vacation? Shame on you."

The post by the famous "Inspector Montalbano" didn't name any names, but it quickly sparked online debate, with shares, outraged comments, and questions about the woman's identity. Her anonymity was short-lived: it later emerged that she was the wife of Minister Urso. The woman was escorted into the terminal by her escort to complete the boarding procedures for Sardinia.

Minister Urso's response was clear , reconstructing the incident: "I accompanied my 7-year-old son and my wife to the airport before going to the ministry. It's the escort's job to assess the security situation." According to Urso, he himself remained in the car outside the airport, only to briefly enter to greet his family. He then added: " I regret if this may have caused inconvenience to others. It's not my style, as anyone who knows me knows ."

It remains unclear whether the minister's wife had priority boarding —a paid service that allows access to dedicated desks and priority boarding—or whether she actually skipped the line due to the escort's decision, for security reasons. A notable detail: the flight departed from Terminal 1, but the procedures were carried out at Terminal 3, a detail that raises further doubts about the exceptional nature of her treatment.
