Italian politicians and celebrities' high‑school exam results show mixed performance

A roundup of recent Italian "maturità" results reveals that several top politicians earned perfect scores, while many entertainers and athletes posted modest marks or never completed the exam. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, opposition leader Elly Schlein and former premier Matteo Renzi each received 60 / 60, matching journalist‑turn‑presenter Cristina Parodi, who also scored a perfect 60 / 60. In contrast, Lega leader Matteo Salvini and newcomer Antonio Tajani ended with 48 / 60.

Among cultural figures, fashion influencer Chiara Ferragni scored around 7 / 10, singer‑songwriter Tiziano Ferro earned 55 / 60, and television host Maria De Filippi reached 52 / 60. Sports personalities showed varied outcomes: footballer Giorgio Chiellini obtained 92 / 100, while tennis star Jannik Sinner left public schooling early and later obtained a private diploma. Several celebrities, including rapper Fedez, rapper Emis Killa and journalist Enrico Mentana, never completed the exam.

The data underscore that academic achievement does not uniformly predict later fame, with both high‑scoring and low‑scoring individuals achieving prominence in politics, media and sport.
