Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni celebrated Italrugby's historic Six Nations victory with the Azzurri. The Prime Minister followed the match at the Olimpico between the national team led by Gonzalo Quesada and Scotland. A feat, because the Azzurri had not won at home in the prestigious tournament for eleven years. “Having the Prime Minister with us was a beautiful and appreciated gesture – said Italrugby captain Michele Lamaro -. The words he spoke to us in the dressing room were of great inspiration.” Meloni: “For those who support Italy, both as a nation and as a national rugby team, it is a special emotion. I thank this extraordinary team which fought until the end, giving us strong sensations and a lot of enthusiasm. The national rugby team is the symbol of an Italy which wins and gives everything, which knows never to give up, which never gives up and who knows she has to earn every inch with work and sweat. In general, rugby is a beautiful metaphor for life and the Italy that we all want and try to build.”
