Paolo Bonolis

Italian TV presenter Paolo Bonolis sparked discussion by downplaying Giorgia Meloni's power in Italy, saying she ranks only third behind the Vatican and Donald Trump. His remark, reported by Virgilio, is fueling debate about the real influence of the Italian prime minister compared to the Church and the US president.

Italian TV personality Sonia Bruganelli is drawing attention on two fronts. Italian media are showing off her home in an upscale Rome neighbourhood, complete with designer cushions reportedly costing 1,500 euros each, in a property said to communicate with ex-partner Paolo Bonolis's residence. She is also back on screen alongside Carlo Crucianni and Mega on Italia 1's 'Come Ti Leggo', a second-prime-time show discussing books and artificial intelligence.
