The Meloni government is the 68th government of the Italian Republic, the first headed by Giorgia Meloni, leader of Brothers of Italy, who is also the first woman to hold the office of Prime Minister of Italy.[1][2][3] The government was sworn in on 22 October 2022.[4][5] It was one of the fastest government formations in the history of the Italian Republic.[6] It was variously described as a shift to the political right,[7] as well as the first far-right-led coalition in Italy since World War II.[8][9]
