Guido Crosetto was hospitalized in February due to pericarditis
Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto was rushed to the hospital Tuesday after feeling unwell during a meeting of Italy's Supreme Defense Council.
Citing sources, Italy's Rai News reported that the meeting chaired by President Sergio Mattarella discussed defense and security matters.
Following a consultation with a doctor, Crosetto was taken to San Carlo di Nancy Hospital for further checks.
He was hospitalized in February at the same facility for pericarditis, a swelling and irritation of the thin saclike membrane surrounding the heart.
Crosetto has been serving as defense minister since 2022 in the coalition government led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
