In the heart of Italy's summer, political leaders are choosing domestic retreats for their vacations, with Puglia emerging as a favored destination.

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has returned to the serene masseria in Ceglie Messapica, accompanied by her daughter Ginevra and ex-partner Andrea Giambruno, highlighting a personal choice for family time despite their separation.

Other political figures, such as Agriculture Minister Francesco Lollobrigida and President of the Chamber Lorenzo Fontana, are also enjoying the Italian countryside.

Meanwhile, President Sergio Mattarella has opted for the tranquility of the Dolomites in Dobbiaco.

This trend of staying within Italy underscores a preference for familiar and culturally rich environments, even as some, like Carlo Calenda, venture abroad to destinations like Turkey.

The summer break offers a moment of respite for Italy's political elite, blending relaxation with the country's diverse landscapes.
