In a letter sent to the Assembly of the Republic, dated 22 April, the head of state, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, stated that he intends to leave for Italy to participate in the opening of an exhibition on the 50th anniversary of 25 April, in Rome, and to speak at a conference on the state of the European Union, at the European University Institute in Florence.

This will be his seventh trip to Italy as President of the Republic, where he made a state visit in November 2019, at the invitation of his Italian counterpart, Sergio Mattarella.

The President of Italy had previously visited Portugal on a state visit, in December 2017.

Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa travelled to Italy at the beginning of his first term, in May 2016, on his way to Mozambique, having been received at the time in Rome by Sergio Mattarella.

He returned in May 2018, for a conference on Europe, in Florence, and in May 2019, for a meeting of the business organisation Cotec Europe, in Naples.

After his state visit, he returned to Italy in September 2021, for a meeting of the heads of state of the Arraiolos Group, in Rome, and in June 2023, for another meeting of Cotec Europe, this time in Palermo.

The consent of the Assembly of the Republic for the head of state's trips abroad is a formality imposed by the Constitution, which establishes that the President of the Republic cannot leave the national territory without the authorisation of parliament.
