Giorgia Meloni's government has become the longest-lasting in modern Italian history
In a country where cabinets of ministers usually change very frequently, the conservative government of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has set a historic record.
Having served 1,413 days, nearly four years, her cabinet has become the longest-running continuous government since World War II, surpassing the previous record set by Silvio Berlusconi between 2001 and 2005.
In the 80-year history of the republic, none of Italy's 68 governments have yet managed to serve a full five-year term without interruption. Thanks to her directness and pragmatic approach, Meloni has managed to avoid the crises and splits that previously led to the fall of her predecessors. On Friday, Meloni and her party plan to celebrate this success with a major campaign rally in the southern city of Bari. Ultimately, it is the results of this period of political stability, unusual for the country, that will determine both the current prime minister's legacy and her chances of re-election.
