Lollobrigida, the cuirassier of Italy. Pivot government, his is already a new party

Relations with the foreign press, boyars, prosecutors, and tutor of technical ministers. From brother-in-law of Italy to “semi-premier”. The Minister of Agriculture has the nomination dossier in hand

Rome. Her roles have reversed: he is no longer her “brother-in-law”, but she is his “sister-in-law”. The man who “rules the government” is Francesco Lollobrigida and Giorgia Meloni his wife’s sister. He is the guardian of three ministers (Labour, Health, Sea), is the cuirassier of the Republic, builds relationships with magistrates, state officials, managers and also with the foreign press. His weapon is not the machete but the letter opener. With that small blade he opens the envelopes that are delivered to him: “Minister, this is my story, this is me. Evaluate her.” In Italy today those who have an ambition turn to the Minister of Agriculture. In the Chamber, he walks with the file of the investee companies under his arm. There’s an official binder and then there’s his. In the budget law he managed to obtain huge resources from the MEF for the agricultural supply chain. He is calling to the ministry the best skills without distinction of color. He is the semi-premier.
