Meloni wants Italians to personalize their license plates: 'Express yourself'

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, and it remains unclear how much deviation from this standard will be permitted. Meloni described the initiative as a way for Italians to express their creativity, albeit for a fee. The cost for personalized plates is approximately 600 euros for cars and 360 euros for motorcycles. The financial impact of this measure is not disclosed by the Ministry of Finance. The political response is mixed, with opposition labeling it a distraction from more pressing issues.
