A Milan court has ordered the journalist, Giulia Cortese, to pay Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni damages of 5,000 euros for making fun of her in a social media post.
義大利米蘭1家法院下令記者茱莉亞‧科蒂斯向總理喬治雅‧梅洛尼支付5000歐元的賠償金，因為她在社群媒體貼文中取笑她。
Cortese was also given a suspended fine of 1,200 euros for a jibe on Twitter, now named X, in Oct. 2021 about Meloni’s height that was defined as "bodyshaming".
科蒂斯2021年10月在推特（現名為Ｘ）上嘲笑梅洛尼的身高，被裁定是「身材羞辱」，另被處以1200歐元罰金，但可緩繳。
Meloni, whose far-right Brothers of Italy party was in opposition at the time, took exception when Cortese published a mocked-up photo of her with a picture of the late fascist leader Benito Mussolini in the background.
梅洛尼所屬的極右派政黨「義大利兄弟黨」當時是反對黨，科蒂斯發布1張梅洛尼的合成照片，背景是已故法西斯領袖墨索里尼，引起梅洛尼反彈。
Cortese responded with further tweets including one that translates as "you don’t scare me, Giorgia Meloni. After all, you’re only 1.2 metres tall. I can’t even see you."
科蒂斯以更多推文回應，其中1則推文的意思是「妳嚇不倒我，喬治雅‧梅洛尼。畢竟妳只有1.2公尺高。我甚至看不到妳」。
Meloni’s height is given as between 1.58m and 1.63m on various media websites.（Reuters）
