ROME, ITALY - 18 OCTOBER 2022: Federico Gennaccari, the editor of a Rome-based conservative publishing house, poses for a portrait in Rome, Italy, on October 18th 2022.

“There’s now a great opportunity on a cultural level,” he said. His wish list, for example, would include a fresh take on the heinous massacre of Italians by Yugoslav Communists that took place between 1943 and 1947 in northeastern Italy.

Giorgia Meloni said her victory would be a “payback for so many people who in this nation had to lower her head for decades,” but also “for all the people who saw it differently from the mainstream and the dominant power system.” They were, she said, “treated as the children of a lesser God.” As Italy debates why Ms. Meloni did so well in the elections — if it had to do more with Italy’s voracious appetite for something new or a shift to the right — her victory clearly provided a vindication to right wing loyalists who for years endured marginalization.
