He could only be the strongest tennis player in the world, especially considering the extraordinary successes achieved, the most sought after in 2024: an expression of “pure tennis”, “predestined to dominate the next decade”, protagonist of “tennis of the highest level”. A success which, according to Treccani “has put Sinner in the spotlight since he was a teenager and this, in a country like Italy, means loading him with pressure and expectations and then trying to knock him down at the first mistake or the first unshared choice”.
Not far away, on the podium of the most clicked, Giorgia Meloni, the first woman in republican history to assume the position of president of the Council of Ministers. As Treccani recalls, Giorgia Meloni has been “interested in politics since adolescence and in 1996 she began militancy in the National Alliance as head of the student movement… in 2012 she founded the Fratelli d’Italia party together with Ignazio La Russa and Guido Crosetto – National Centre-right (since 2014 Fratelli d’Italia – Alleanza Nazionale and since 2017 Fratelli d’Italia)”, which in the political elections of 2022 had an extraordinary success, establishing itself as first in the country with around 26% of the votes and obtaining, with the centre-right coalition, with Forza Italia, Lega, Noi moderates around 44% of the votes, the absolute majority in Parliament .
Third position for Donald Trump, the newly elected president of the United States, who has never stopped attracting the public’s attention and gave rise to the word Trumpism, recorded in record time by the Treccani Vocabulary.
