On 20 May 2026, during Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s official visit to Italy, he gifted a packet of India’s popular “Melody” toffees to Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in Rome. The light hearted moment went viral online because social media users have long referred to the two leaders together as “Melodi,” a combination of Modi and Meloni’s surnames. Meloni shared a video of the exchange on social media, thanking Modi for the gift and calling the toffee “very, very good.” The meeting took place during Modi’s Italy stop on his five nation diplomatic tour, where the two leaders also held discussions on strengthening India Italy relations and were seen together at landmarks including the Colosseum in Rome. #italy
