Giorgia Meloni (born on January 15, 1977) is an Italian politician, a member of the Chamber of Deputies of Italy[1] since 2006.[2]
Biography
Meloni was born in Rome, by father from Sardinia and mother from Sicily. Active into politics since her teenage years, she earned a Diploma from the Amerigo Vespucci Institute in 1996.[3] She worked as a journalist.
She was a member of the National Alliance, which merged with Forza Italia into The People of Freedom in 2008.
In 2008, she was appointed as Minister of Youth Policy in Berlusconi IV Cabinet, a position she held until November 16, 2011.
In November 2012, she announced her bid to contest the leadership of the People of Freedom party against Angelino Alfano, in contrast with the party's support of the Monti Cabinet. After the cancellation of the primaries, she teamed up with fellow MP Guido Crosetto for an anti-Monti policy, asking for renewal within the party and being also critical of the leadership of Silvio Berlusconi. Later in December, both MPs left the party to become founding member of a new political movement named Brothers of Italy.
