Italy-Germany relations extraordinarily solid - Mattarella - Politics. President Sergio Mattarella highlighted Italy's "extraordinarily solid" relations with Germany during a visit by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to the Quirinale palace in Rome.

"It is a pleasure to be able to converse with you and underline how solid - to say solid is insufficient - our relationships are: they are really extraordinarily solid," said Mattarella. In November Meloni and ScholZ signed an Action Plan between Italy and Germany as part of the intergovernmental summit in Berlin.
