The conservative Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni hosted the G7 Conference and spent the last few days under the holophotes, highlighting the struggles she faces as a woman and a conservative leader in today’s world.
To begin with, she had a hard time making some usual suspect leaders keep their hands to themselves.
For example, Joe Biden. She holds his hand to keep him from unwanted contact until she manages a civilized handshake.
Joe Biden just walked over like Frankenstein to Italian PM Giorgia Meloni.
Look at how Biden creepily holds onto her and then she pulls her hand away so they can shake more formally.

An even much more embarrassing moment took place when non-G7 leader, Brazilian President Lula de Silva tried to grab her, and she had to move quickly to evade:

Sometimes, Meloni felt a bit more secure, as in the case of embattled British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, the Italian leader’s long-time partner.
