ROME (AP) - First lady Laura Bush arrived in Rome late Wednesday ahead of a meeting with the pope and a visit to Turin, where she is heading the U.S. Olympics delegation.
Bush's plane touched down shortly before midnight local time at Rome's Ciampino airport, witnesses said.
On Thursday, she is to meet with Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican as well as have lunch with Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi. She also plans to visit a Rome hospital for a breast cancer awareness event before heading to Turin.
