Meloni was sworn in on Saturday as Italy's 12th head of government this century and 68th since World War II. Meloni's government will replace the administration of national unity led by Mario Draghi, former head of the European Central Bank.

However, it is believed that this government is going to face some serious challenges of the formation of a united front around the recession, rising energy prices and the war in Ukraine.
