Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni concluded her visit to Reggio Calabria on Wednesday, departing for Rome shortly after participating in official ceremonies marking the 210th anniversary of the founding of the Carabinieri.
The Prime Minister’s itinerary in the Calabrian capital began with the institutional celebrations at the Piazza del Popolo, where she attended the military parade honoring the Arma dei Carabinieri. Following the conclusion of the formal event, Meloni relocated to the local Prefecture to preside over a ceremony dedicated to the presentation of a commemorative postage stamp issued by the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy to mark the force’s anniversary.
Institutional Engagements and Post-Ceremony Departure
The presentation at the Prefecture served as the final public engagement of the Prime Minister’s brief visit to the region. The event, organized in coordination with the Italian Post Office (Poste Italiane), highlighted the historical role of the Carabinieri within the framework of national security and public order.
Meloni’s presence at the Prefecture allowed for a brief period of institutional activity following the morning’s military formalities. Attendees included senior representatives of the Carabinieri command and local government officials. The Prime Minister did not hold a press conference following the stamp unveiling, nor did she make additional public appearances in the city before her departure.
By late afternoon, the Prime Minister’s delegation had completed the scheduled program, and she returned to Rome via a state flight. The administrative offices at the Prefecture resumed standard operations following the conclusion of the event, with no further regional engagements listed on the Prime Minister’s official agenda for the remainder of the business day.
The government has not provided further details regarding the specific discussions held during the restricted session at the Prefecture, maintaining the focus of the visit on the commemorative aspects of the Carabinieri anniversary.
