Meloni allows Italians to personalize license plates to boost state coffers

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced a new measure allowing personalized license plates during the presentation of next year's budget law. The current Italian plates consist of a combination of letters and numbers, but details on deviations from this standard remain unclear. Meloni described the initiative as a way for Italians to express their creativity, with costs set at approximately 600 euros for cars and 360 euros for motorcycles. Reactions to the measure are mixed, with opposition labeling it a distraction from more pressing issues. The Italian government is following the lead of countries like the United States and the United Kingdom.
