Including that of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni who in 2021 declared income of around 152 thousand euros. And you, as prime minister, have just officially announced that you will not receive any compensation, having renounced it on the basis of the ban on cumulation with the indemnity due to parliamentarians. The same choice was also made by Minister Casellati.

Cars

But Fitto is also a car enthusiast and declared that he owns an old Jaguar from 1986.
