Meloni government becomes longest-serving in postwar Italy
–
Neutral summary
Giorgia Meloni's government has become the longest-serving uninterrupted administration in Italy since World War II, surpassing the record set by Silvio Berlusconi between 2001 and 2005. As of September 3, 2026, the cabinet has been in power for 1,413 days. Meloni celebrated the milestone at a rally in Bari, saying she feels more support than on her first day and does not intend to give up. Analysts attribute the longevity to her moderated image and fragmented opposition, but warn of challenges ahead, including the rise of Roberto Vannacci's Futuro Nazionale on the right.
