Italy to host G7 summit in June 2024

Italy will host next year's Group of Seven summit in June at a luxury hotel that made its name for staging Justin Timberlake's wedding, authorities announced on Friday.

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said in a social media video that the summit would be held on June 13-15 at the Borgo Enazia hotel in the southern region of Puglia.

Italy takes over the presidency of the industrialised nations group -- made up of the United States, Japan, Germany, Canada, Italy, France and Britain -- on January 1.

Borgo Enazia is on the Adriatic coast between Bari and Brindisi. It staged the 2012 marriage of US pop star and producer Timberlake to the actress Jessica Biel.
