FACT CHECK

NewsMobile fact-checked the above video and found the claim to be false.
We extracted the keyframes of the video and put them through Reverse Image Seach after cropping the screengrabs.
On Yandex, a Russian search engine, we found a video link titled, ‘Benny Hinn bows before god’.

Based on the above link, we then ran a keyword search and found the extended version of the above video, which was uploaded on YouTube on August 15, 2010.

According to the video description, this congregation video was taken on August 13, 2010, in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.

The person crying in the video is Benny Hinn, who is an Israeli evangelist. He is known for his regular “Miracle Crusades”—revival meeting or faith healing.
The above information proves that the video is almost 10 years old and the man in the video is not the Italian PM Giuseppe Conte. Hence, the above claim is False.
