Italy may welcome its first female prime minister,
What's the background?
The blond, blue-eyed and petite Meloni has recently become the most talked-about woman in Italy.
She looks inconspicuous in the crowd, but as soon as she speaks, her Italian-accented English is full of breath, and she immediately attracts people's attention.
Meloni was abandoned by her father since she was a child, and in order to support her family, she worked as a nightclub waiter and a star nanny.
However, she seemed ordinary, but she won the Italian parliamentary elections in late September. In her competency speech, she bluntly said, "We are just the beginning", and a few words are enough to glimpse her ambition.
She is currently working on a cabinet list and is expected to complete the formation of the new government by the end of October. If the cabinet is successful, she will become the first female prime minister in Italian history.

Alternative dress for female prime ministers
Throughout the campaign, Meloni dressed casually. A simple T-shirt, shirt, jacket, plus leggings and sneakers, became her "battle shirt".
Sometimes, she even goes to the speech directly wearing knitwear, and there is an inexplicable contrast between the perseverance in her eyes and the clothes of life.
Even in a formal suit, her outfit is still nondescript. Often wear a blazer on the upper body, but with slacks and white shoes, full of "aunt" feeling.
Some netizens commented on her big bow shirt and polka-dot top, saying that these clothes looked like they were bought from a cheap supermarket.
Others stood on the stage with a restrained look, she was good, compared to the camera, and grinned with her gums exposed, regardless of the image. The blonde hair was draped over his shoulders, making it even more slovenly.
She rarely posts fine retouching pictures on the Internet, but selfies from various mysterious angles, and eye wrinkles and nasolabial folds are clear at a glance.
Even on the day of the election, she did not dress up to attend, but wore a black leather coat on a crumpled white underneath, and her face was simple to makeup.

As a politician, clothing often conveys a lot of information and implies the idea of governance.
Meloni's life began in humility, and this down-to-earth dress style is refreshing to the public, and it is not a means of propaganda.

Fat girl who lacks fatherly love
Meloni's seemingly less sophisticated dress style is directly related to her own life experience.
She was born in 1977 in the Galbatella region of Rome, the capital of Italy, which is known as a well-affluent area. Her father was a tax consultant and was not very wealthy, but he was also free to eat and drink.
However, when she was 2 years old, her father suddenly quit his job and boarded a cruise ship bound for Spain, where he was not heard from for many years, and the family lost their financial resources.
To make ends meet, my mother had to work several jobs at the same time. But even so, life is still tight.
To add insult to injury, the year after being abandoned by his father, Meloni's house caught fire, and the family narrowly recovered their lives, but everything in the family was reduced to ashes.
The mother and her children moved to a small apartment on the outskirts, where most of the poor lived in poverty.
Life from luxury to frugality made Meloni feel a strong sense of disparity, and also made her experience the cruelty of society for the first time.
When she was a child, Meloni was called a "fat girl with no friends" by her peers because she was obese, and some people ridiculed her for not having a father.
The lack of fatherly love stimulates her to keep working. She worked as a waitress in a nightclub in Rome, worked at night and attended school during the day. She also worked as a nanny at the home of Italian actor Rosario Fiorello, taking care of his 4-year-old daughter, watching cartoons and building Lego with the children.
In order to have a better image, she set herself a small goal of losing weight and did not eat a bite of pasta for 8 years.
Perhaps the pressure of survival exhausted Meloni, she terminated her studies early, and most likely only got a high Chinese.
Previously, there was public information that Meloni graduated from the American Vespucci Academy in Rome with a diploma in languages. But this diploma has been questioned by many because the college is a technical high school dedicated to the tourism and hospitality industry and is not eligible to issue language diplomas.
However, although Meloni's education is not so high and her experience is very civilian, these characteristics make her stand out.
In the eyes of people, she is not a high elite, but a counterattacker who has come all the way from the bottom. Her pain, struggle, and transformation resonate with people who are also in trouble.

"Sibling love" who does not plan to get married
When it comes to marriage, Meloni is also unusual.
Her boyfriend, Gianbruno, 41, 4 years younger than Meloni, is a news host. The two met because of work, have been in love for 7 years, and have a daughter. However, they are not married and have no plans to get married in the future.

In 2014, Meloni was invited to participate in the Milan Quinta Colonna TV show, of which Giambruno was the chief planner.
At that time, Meloni came in a hurry and did not have time to eat. During the commercial, the assistant handed her a banana pad, and before she finished eating, Giambruno grabbed the banana in her hand so that the picture of the banana in her hand would not appear in the program.
At that moment, the eyes of the two looked at each other in a strange way.
Meloni thought he was a field assistant and didn't care much. Unexpectedly, Giambruno launched a fierce pursuit of her after the show. Under the spark of love at first sight, the two soon began dating.
In September 2016, their daughter Jenifra was born, who is 6 years old this year.
Gianbruno is usually very low-key, rarely talks about his personal life, and rarely discusses current affairs with Meloni.
The only time he broke the mold was when a university professor yelled at Meloni, calling her a "cow" and a "sow." Giambruno defended her on live television: "I am Meloni's partner and she is also the mother of my daughter. I am very proud of what she has done in her life. ”
In Meloni's eyes, Giambruno was a competent father who often scheduled his work in the evenings so that he could spend more time with his daughter during the day. Usually, he also picks up his daughter to school.
For Gianbruno's dedication, she saw it in her eyes and thanked him in public after the election results were announced.
If Meloni becomes Italy's first female prime minister, her boyfriend Gian Bruno will become Italy's first "first gentleman." Whether or not the cabinet is successfully formed, Meloni has already written a strong mark in Italian history.
