BOOKS OF THE WEEK

 Giorgia’s Vision by Giorgia Meloni

ABOUT THE BOOK

What does it mean to defend identity in an age of globalization? Can nations preserve their culture while navigating the pressures of modern politics and economic change? In Giorgia’s Vision, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni offers a deeply personal and political reflection on these defining questions of our time.

Structured as a series of candid conversations with journalist Alessandro Sallusti, the book moves beyond conventional political memoir into a broader conversation on leadership, national identity, meritocracy, family, faith, and the future of Western civilization. Speaking from the office of the Italian Prime Minister at Palazzo Chigi, Meloni reflects on her journey from a working-class neighbourhood in Rome to becoming Italy’s first female Prime Minister, while also laying out the ideological foundations that shape her politics.

Across chapters that broach autobiography, political philosophy, and cultural commentary, Meloni discusses Europe’s identity crisis, the tensions between nationalism and globalism, migration, the role of institutions, economic sovereignty, and the erosion of traditional social structures.

The book also offers a rare insight into the emotional and personal dimensions of political power, including the loneliness of leadership, the burden of public expectations, and the sacrifices demanded by public life. Through reflections on figures ranging from Joan of Arc to Margaret Thatcher, Meloni positions her politics within a larger conservative tradition shaped by resilience and cultural continuity.

Deeply introspective, Giorgia’s Vision is a manifesto on the meaning of identity in the twenty-first century. It is a book that speaks to the anxieties and aspirations shaping Europe and the wider West today.
