G20, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in Bali with her daughter Ginevra

It is the day of the debut among the leaders of the whole world, for the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. At the G20 in Bali, Indonesia – where she landed last night – the prime minister conquers a record: 41 participants sit at the table in the opening session, and only 4 women: Giorgia Meloni is the only one to hold the office of head of government. The other women present are the president of the EU Commission Ursula von der Leyen, the director general of the International Monetary Fund Kristalina Georgieva and of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

The premier brought in Bali also the daughter, Ginevra, aged 6. This too is a record: it is the first time that, in the staff of an Italian Prime Minister, there is also a little girl.

Little Guinevere had also been present at the swearing-in of ministers of the Meloni government: with her little white dress, she was sitting next to her father, the journalist Andrea Giambruno, in the Quirinale party hall, while the ministers paraded for the signing and the oath in front of the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella.

The parents agree in wanting to ensure their daughter a “normal” life despite the mother’s crucial political role. “The priority for us is to protect her, to make her grow in the most natural way possible,” explained Giambruno. «We want our daughter to grow up in serenity, distant from realities that would mark the distance with her peers. Then the more she goes on with the years and the more she will realize that she has a super mom, but also a story not suited to a girl of her age. Now Ginevra is serene and what matters most, for me and Giorgia, is to preserve her serenity ».

On the eve of the political elections, mother Giorgia Meloni had dedicated an affectionate post on Instagram to the child: «Thanks for your patience in these years my love. Thank you for how, despite your six years, you understood and put up with my too many absences. Thank you for the way you run up to me when I get home, and for when you say “good luck mum!”. It’s all for you. I love you”.
