Giorgia Meloni's Vacation in Maddalena

Arriving and leaving like any ordinary tourist.

A few days by the sea in between, two walks that inevitably

turned

into a sea of people. That brought Giorgia Meloni's brief vacation in La Maddalena to an end.

The prime minister left the island this morning, Sunday, August 9,

together with her daughter, accompanied by a small

and discreet security detail. Destination: the mainland by ferry,

the scheduled service,

the same one she chose on Thursday to reach the archipelago on a scheduled flight

from Rome to Olbia, followed by her transfer to Palau.

Three days without an official schedule and with a deliberately

low profile, mostly at sea aboard an inflatable boat,

between Caprera, Spargi,

Budelli, and Santa Maria. Let's hear the brief interview with Giorgia

Meloni.

Did you like La Maddalena?

Wonderful. La Maddalena is wonderful, and the people are

very welcoming, but also very

respectful.

It is a splendid area,

with a sea

that is perhaps

one of the most beautiful I have ever seen in my life,

with extraordinary seabeds if you want to do a little snorkeling.

Did you go snorkeling?

Oh, of course—

Naturally.

I went snorkeling, and did a little free diving,

so I had a great time

and

got some rest.

The weather is wonderful. I absolutely recommend it, I really do.

Will you do like President Ciampi, who returned four or five

times?

Well, look, I can't say whether I'll do like President

Ciampi, but I am certain that you will

see me again, you won't get rid of me very easily,

unfortunately

for you.

Last Friday was Giorgia Meloni's first public appearance

in the square with a few purchases, an aperitif and dinner

overlooking Cala Gavetta. And it was right in the square that Giorgia

Meloni returned last night as well for her final farewell.

Citizens and supporters of Brothers of Italy were waiting for her, along with

Mayor Fabio Lai and Deputy Mayor Federica Porcu.

Applause, handshakes and the customary barrage of

selfies. Then, at eight this morning, she departed.

That brought the Prime Minister's first vacation in the Maddalena Archipelago to a close.

Three days by the sea, relaxing and inevitably meeting people before

returning to her institutional duties.
