Why not Gargia for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 84-year-old business man, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Gargia so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the business man have already been named ‘Italian Of The Year’ by some major Italian newspapers and even ‘Naples Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Naples (Massimo Gargia's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the business man was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Massimo Gargia Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”

“Congrats! Massimo has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”

“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Massimo Gargia?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 23 Dec 2024
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Massimo Gargia?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
