ROME (Reuters) - A car being sold as an "Italian jewel" needs to be made in Italy, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said, telling lawmakers that Fiat's parent company Stellantis has sometimes made choices which were against the country's interests.

Asked about her plans to safeguard production at Stellantis plants in Italy during a Q&A session in parliament, Meloni said it was a priority to defend jobs and production.
