Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni celebrated her 47th birthday yesterday. Speaking on Rai’s satirical radio show “Un giorno da pecora” (Sheep for a day), Meloni stressed that “the most precious gift she would like to receive is to be able to sleep more”.

She added that she “believes that she will also celebrate her fiftieth birthday at the government palace Palazzo Kitzi”, expressing confidence that she will complete her term.

The Italian prime minister replied to the presenters of the show that “this year’s good intentions include being able to resume exercising regularly” and that “one year as prime minister is like five years of normal life”.

Asked what was the most useful gift she received, Georgia Meloni replied that “it might be the new cloth towels for the kitchen that a friend gave her because hers were getting old.”

The head of the Italian government admitted that she will hardly be able to answer all the congratulatory messages that arrived on her mobile phone, “since this year they exceeded fourteen hundred”.
