From Sergio Mattarella to Giorgia Meloni: Here’s Where Italian Politicians Are on Vacation

Summer vacation time also for Italian politicians, who during the week of Ferragosto are allowing themselves a few moments of relaxation before returning to their usual commitments with the reopening of Parliament (the Chamber and Senate will resume work on September 10).

There are many who have chosen to stay in Italy, dividing their time between the mountains and the sea. The President of the Republic has chosen the Dolomites Sergio Mattarella, landed in Bolzano with the presidential Falcon on August 11. The head of state will stay at the Air Force detachment in Dobbiaco, and no public engagement is planned for him, but perhaps he could be intercepted at the traditional Ferragosto Mass, in the historic center of the Alto Adige town. Instead, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has chosen Puglia, who as anticipated a few weeks ago in an interview will be together with her daughter Ginevra and her ex-partner Andrea Giambruno: “We are still friends and we love each other. We both see how happy she is when she doesn’t have to divide herself between one and the other, and even if our separation is definitive we will always spend happy time together, like many other families with separated parents do.” Giorgia Meloni has opted for a farmhouse in Ceglie Messapica, where her sister Arianna Meloni and her husband Francesco Lollobrigida, Minister of Agriculture, should also be located.

Always Puglia, but Salento, for Matthew Salvini and his partner Francesca Verdini; the first social snapshot from the Vice President of the Council’s vacation is a sunset dedicated to his followers.

Going home, after all, is a consolidated habit even among politicians. Ignatius LaRussa will stop in Sicily, Antonio Tajani He often returns to Ciociaria, his mother’s homeland, and it is likely that he will stop by Fiuggi, to which he is very attached. He has chosen Sardinia, instead, Matthew Renzi, While Charles Calenda has focused on Turkey, as revealed on social media: «This year we are taking the kids to visit Turkey. Istanbul, Smyrna, Ephesus, Troy, Cappadocia. I am reading Istanbul by Pamuk». And again, photographing the family: «These are already exhausted… and fifteen museums, twenty archaeological sites and six cities await them. With podcasts during the transfers, strictly by car».

A real tour de force, in short, but when you really travel the pace cannot be slow, otherwise you are not a true traveler.
