Former Senate president to take Sen. Brown around East Boston

Former state Sen. Robert Travaglini, an East Boston Democrat, will be giving US Sen. Scott Brown, a Wrentham Republican, a tour of the neighborhood on Wednesday.

After the tour, the two former colleagues are scheduled to lunch at Santarpio's Pizza on Chelsea St.

Travaglini, who also served on the Boston City Council, resigned his Senate seat in March 2007 to take a job as a lobbyist.

UPDATE: National Journal's Jim O'Sullivan writes up the visit.
