In April 24–25, 2010, elections were held between Menegatto and Gian Luigi Morgia, a citizen of Seborga. With him having 22 votes more than Morgia, he won the elections and was crowned on May 22, 2010.[2]
Prince of Seborga
After accepting the throne, Menegatto visited the United Kingdom and was welcomed by the Queen Elizabeth II. Later the official websites of the government took site constructions. He promised that the government will be reorganized, and more businesses will be opened to give the citizens of Seborga more opportunities. Meanwhile, with the help of his wife who is the External Affairs Minister, Seborga has opened more consulates in Europe and one in Brazil.[1]
