Overview

• The civil ceremony at the deconsecrated Santa Maria in Tempulo church was led by Senate President Ignazio La Russa, who interwove solemn rites with humorous remarks.
• A reception at Parioli’s Tiro a Volo club drew senior Fratelli d’Italia figures and Meloni government ministers including Orazio Schillaci, Francesco Lollobrigida and Daniela Santanchè.
• Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni skipped the festivities to chair a Council of Ministers meeting and undertake a regional trip to Marche.
• Campitello has led the Health Ministry’s Prevention Department for a year following nepotism allegations that prompted Cirielli to file a defamation lawsuit against Vincenzo De Luca.
• The newlyweds have shelved any honeymoon plans so that Campitello can continue her ministerial work without interruption.
