The Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni appointed a new Minister of Tourism, in a political context weakened after the defeat of his government in a referendum on judicial reform.
Undersecretary of State for Culture Gianmarco Mazzi has been sworn in as Minister of Culture, marking another reshuffle within the Italian government. A former executive in the television and entertainment sectors, he succeeds Daniela Santanchè.
She resigned after being implicated in an accounting fraud case linked to a publishing group she previously owned. Her resignation came under pressure from the government, which was keen to limit the political fallout from the affair.
Gianmarco Mazzi's appointment comes as Giorgia Meloni seeks to regain control after a significant political setback. The defeat in the referendum on judicial reform weakened her authority and reignited criticism from the opposition.
This change at the Ministry of Tourism is part of a series of adjustments aimed at stabilizing the executive branch and restoring the government's credibility.
In a country where tourism represents a key sector of the economy, this strategic portfolio is an important issue for Italy's image and economic recovery, in a context marked by internal political tensions.
