Overview

  • Modi labels the book “her Mann Ki Baat” in the foreword, praising Meloni as a patriot and an outstanding contemporary leader.
  • He says her defence of cultural heritage, community strength, and the celebration of womanhood reflects Indian values and underpins his personal rapport with her.
  • The Indian edition of I Am Giorgia — My Roots, My Principles from Rupa Publications is reported to be launching soon.
  • The memoir, first published in 2021, recounts identity-centered struggles and features the refrain, “I am Giorgia, I am a woman, I am Italian, I am Christian.”
  • A June 2025 US edition carried a foreword by Donald Trump Jr., highlighting tailored international positioning as India–Italy ties deepen following their 2023 upgrade to a Strategic Partnership.
