Giorgia Meloni is the first woman of the 68 presidents of the council who have succeeded one another at the head of Italy since the war. The daughter of a broken family on the outskirts of Rome, she grew up studying, learning her trade from Silvio Berlusconi.
In March 2014, she took the lead of her party, Brothers of Italy (an allusion to the national anthem), which led her, in eight years, to win election to the European Parliament.
