> Giorgia Meloni's right-wing government has governed Italy for 1,413 days, surpassing Silvio Berlusconi's record and becoming the country's longest-serving government since the republic was established. Meloni and her Brothers of Italy party are celebrating in Bari while using the event to rally for the 2027 election. Critics say weak productivity, demographic decline, inefficient public services and rising living costs remain unresolved.
