The government led by Giorgia Meloni broke a new political longevity record in Italy, becoming the longest-lasting executive of the Italian Republic in the last 80 years. The Italian prime minister managed to surpass the mark previously held by Silvio Berlusconi's second government.
Since 1945, the Italian Republic has lived through 68 different governments, resulting in an average duration of just over a year for each executive. This political instability has been a defining characteristic of the Italian political system over the past decades.
The country is widely recognized for its high government turnover, a phenomenon that has been the subject of study and debate both nationally and internationally. Meloni's permanence in power thus represents a remarkable exception in this context of instability.
