The name of the new, interim prime minister of Italy, Mario Monti was registered in dot com years ago.
According to DomainTools, MarioMonti.com was registered in 2005 and has been a part of the BuyDomains portfolio ever since.
When Silvio Berlusconi stepped down and Mario Monti took over, the domain was still listed for sale on BuyDomains with a buy now price of $588.
As of today, the new owner is Rick Schwartz, who acknowledged jumping on the opportunity to buy the domain in a comment here on DomainGang.
It’s not yet clear what will Rick do with the domain name MarioMonti.com but it’s a definite act of borderline speculation on a public figure’s name.

Let’s hope he will remain in office longer than Lucas Papademos. Rick isn’t exactly fast at developing his online properties 😉
I may donate some of mine, if he does a great job:

Uzoma – You do know yours are pigeon shit, right?
Lucius,
They may not be #1 top-notch, but they are far far from pigeon shit!
It would be good to understand why the Domain King insists on wallowing around in this kind of slop.
