The minister of state for agriculture, Shobha Karandlaje welcomed her in the National Capital. The summit was held in Pragati Maidan’s state-of-the-art Bharat Mandapam.

MEET GIORGIA MELONI, ITALY’S FIRST WOMAN PRIME MINISTER

Even though Giorgia Meloni chose a coalition in which just one in four ministers were women, she went ahead to accept the position of Italy’s first female Prime Minister at the age of 45. Giorgia Meloni is from Garbatella, a working-class but developing neighbourhood in southern Rome. After her parents split, she was raised by her mother and drawn to the young wing of the Italian Social Movement, which was created from the remnants of Benito Mussolini’s fascist wartime militia.

Giorgia Meloni, the head of the Brothers of Italy party, became Italy’s first female Prime Minister in 2022. She became the lone opponent since her Brothers of Italy party was one of the few to reject Mario Draghi’s national unity administration. Meloni, who was 15-year-old, joined the party’s youth wing of the neo-fascist Italian Social Movement to fight against terror in Italy at the time. At the age of 21, Meloni won her first local election and at the age of 31, she was named Italy’s youngest-ever minister with the youth portfolio, drawing acclaim and condemnation from both Berlusconi’s allies and adversaries.
