Glasses, cameras, necklaces, purses, cosmetic bags, mobile phones: this is the inventory of objects that our deputies and senators have left abandoned on benches, sofas, in the toilets, out of simple distraction or in a hurry to leave the courtroom end of work, or tiredness after hours of discussions in committee.
In detail, the list of objects forgotten by the deputies of this legislature and which have not yet been claimed by their owners includes:
1) rings
2) bracelets
3) keys
4) necklaces
5) a camera
6) earrings
7) pens
8) make-up bag
8) purse
9) eyeglasses and sunglasses
10) mobile phones and tablets.
It must be said that when we talk about rings, bracelets and necklaces, we are talking about objects not exactly of significant commercial value, even if they certainly have sentimental value. And the same goes for the pens: they are neither Montblanc nor Parker with the gold nib, because these would be immediately claimed by the rightful owner. As for the glasses, they are mostly reading glasses, certainly not the glasses used by the short-sighted.
The forgotten object is "parked" in the offices of the supervisory staff secretariat, where it waits for the rightful owner to come forward. And there it remains in storage for a year, after which the object in question - no one claiming ownership - is assigned to whoever found it.
Except for mobile phones and tablets which are instead sent to pulp because they contain sensitive data. Among the objects that are often forgotten are raincoats. It happens on rainy days, when the parliamentarian enters the Chamber protected by an overcoat. Then perhaps at the end of the meeting the rain has given way to the sun, and the deputy goes out forgetting his raincoat on the sofa. An oversight that however lasts the short space of a few hours, or at most a few days.
