As Prime Minister, Meloni has received several high international decorations, including the Grand Cross of the Order of the White Rose of Finland, the Order of Liberty (Ukraine), the Grand Cross of the Order of Isabella the Catholic (Spain), and the Gold Olympic Order in recognition of Italy’s organisation of the 2026 Winter Olympics.
She has been ranked among the world’s most powerful women by Forbes and described by Politico as one of the most influential figures in Europe.
