The dispute has erupted because of Melon's expulsion from a joint phone call with former US President Donald Trump, where Macro was invited, follows Periscope.
Melon has accused Makron of spreading dezinforms and has stressed that its expulsion was a deliberate act.
In response, Macron has denied the accusations and stressed that any decision to send European troops to Ukraine is a national issue.
He has sought to avoid spreading false information and has stressed the importance of European unity.
German Prime Minister Friedrich Merz has intervened to calm tensions, stressing the importance of co-operation and unity within the European Union.
Mellon has stressed that Italy is willing to co-operate in any peace initiative aimed at ending the war in Ukraine, but has warned against divisions within the West.
It has stressed that Western unity has been the greatest force since the beginning of Russia's invasion, and it is important to put aside personal differences that could undermine that unity.
In another development, Melon has organised a trilateral meeting in Rome with US Vice President JD Vance and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyeen to promote dialogue and co-operation between the United States and the European Union.
This meeting has marked a diplomatic success for Melon, positioning it as a possible mediator between Europe and the Trump administration.
Discussions have included issues such as global trade and conflict in Ukraine, with a focus on achieving lasting peace.
Meanwhile, Macron has announced that Trump is planning to hold telephone conversations with Russian representatives in the coming days to clarify the proposed ceasefire situation and seek progress in the peace process.
