Unusual scenes from Italy last Friday: Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni surprised visitors at the Fieracavalli international horse show in the northern city of Verona.
Meloni arrived at the Veronafiere exhibition complex as part of an official visit to the 128th edition of Fieracavalli, one of the world's oldest and most prominent horse shows, held annually in Verona in northern Italy.
During the visit, she stopped at the Italian Agriculture Ministry pavilion, where she was received by Agriculture Minister Francesco Lollobrigida and other government representatives and figures from the equestrian industry. She first watched a riding demonstration, but then surprised onlookers when she climbed onto one of the horses and settled into the saddle for a short ride around the grounds.
