I Am Giorgia: My Roots, My Principles

A memoir chronicling the early personal and political life of the current Prime Minster of Italy.

"I have heard too many people talk about me and my ideas not to realize how different my life and I actually are from the way we are portrayed. So, I decided to open up, to show who I am, what I believe in, and how I got here."

In her memoir, Giorgia Meloni speaks about herself in depth for the first time. She talks about her roots, her childhood, and her relationship with her mother Anna, her sister Arianna, her grandparents Maria and Gianni, and the pain of her father's absence. She shares her visceral passion for politics, which took her from her neighborhood of Garbatella to the Government as a Minister, and then to the leadership of Fratelli d'Italia and the European Conservatives. She also expresses the joy of being the mother of little Ginevra and her love story with Andrea. Additionally, she discusses her dreams and the future she envisions for Italy and Europe.

With her characteristic frankness and clarity, she also tackles complex topics such as motherhood, identity, and faith. This passionate and engaging account reveals the past, present, and future of a political leader who has caught the attention of many, both in Italy and beyond.
