- Giorgia Meloni marked 1,413 consecutive days as Italy’s prime minister by gathering thousands of supporters in Bari.
- She became the country’s longest continuously serving government leader since World War II, but election anxiety overshadowed the record.
- Silvio Berlusconi remains ahead with 3,340 days as prime minister across different governments.
Giorgia Meloni brought thousands of supporters together in Bari after 1,413 days in office, celebrating a record in a country known for political instability.
She has become the longest continuously serving head of government in Italy since the end of World War II. Yet the achievement was overshadowed by anxiety surrounding the election.
Meloni still has a long way to go before matching Silvio Berlusconi, who spent 3,340 days as prime minister across several governments.
