Book Review

The memoir “I Am Giorgia: My Roots, My Principles,” translated into English by Sylvia Adrian Notini from Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s original Spanish and published by Rupa Publications, feels more like an honest chat than a formal political memoir. Giorgia Meloni discusses her childhood in the working-class area of Garbatella, her early challenges, and the events that impacted her life. These short, moving stories help readers understand the strong personality that drives Italy’s first female Prime Minister and where her inspiration comes from.

As the book moves forward, Meloni shares her experiences with family, leadership, and the difficult world of politics. She writes about the influence of her mother and sister, the pain of growing up without her father, and the challenges of leading a major party in a space mostly run by men. She also talks about her beliefs, her faith, and her pride in her country, adding depth to a public figure often seen only through headlines.
