Italian Government Reaches Historic Milestone

The government led by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has reached a historic milestone, becoming the third longest-serving executive in Italy since World War II, with 1,093 days in power. This figure equals the tenure of former Prime Minister Bettino Craxi in the 1980s.

A Stable Leadership in a Turbulent Landscape

At the helm of the country since October 2022, Meloni leads a coalition comprising Fratelli d'Italia, Forza Italia, and the Lega. She stands out as an exception in Italy's often unstable and short-lived governments.

A Potential Record-Breaker

Consistently leading in polls ahead of the opposition Democratic Party, Giorgia Meloni could break the record for longest tenure in power held by Silvio Berlusconi (1,412 days) if she remains in office until September 2026.
