"Now let's hear from our correspondent in Rome"

Stuck in traffic on the way into work the other morning, I was only half listening to the Today programme on Radio 4. 

Until the item on the Italian prime minister's controversial efforts to replace a missing body part on a marble statue of Mars at his residence.

Reported by a BBC journalist in Rome.

One David Willey.

I know, I know.  

I can be so very juvenile.
