Giorgia Meloni reached a milestone that no Italian prime minister had achieved since the Second World War: 1,413 days in office at the Palazzo Chigi.
Her government, sworn in before the president in October 2022, has now outlasted Silvio Berlusconiโs second administration. Italyโs right-wing coalition planned to mark the record with a major celebration in Bari, the capital of Puglia.
The achievement has become a point of pride for Meloniโs supporters. Arianna Meloni, the prime ministerโs sister and a senior figure in the Brothers of Italy party, said the record represented more than a tally of days. She described it as evidence of a stable government that had given Italy a vision and restored its credibility and authority internationally.
The celebration comes as Italy returns from its summer holidays and the political atmosphere begins to resemble an election campaign. The government has reached the longevity record despite a series of setbacks, according to the report, while Meloni remains popular after four years at the countryโs helm.
A record that cannot be reduced to numbers, but testifies to the stability of a government that has given Italy a vision and restored its credibility and authority in the world.
