A one-month old baby has been flown to Italy for surgery after the NHS said they couldn't treat him.
In a world where division seems to be the norm, a collaboration between the UK and Italy serves as a reminder of our collective power to make a positive impact.
The seriously ill baby was taken from a hospital in Bristol after the Italian Prime Minister, intervened to make sure the sick child could travel to Rome to receive treatment for a congenital heart condition.
The boy's father, an Italian citizen, decided to appeal directly to Ms Meloni and her government for assistance who worked closely with the family to allow their travel.
The child has a "very serious cardiac malformation", according to the Italian government, and is being operated on in Rome.
