Since taking power almost 18 months ago, Giorgia Meloni, Italy’s first female leader and perhaps the most right-wing since the Second World War, has made her mark on her homeland. Now she is trying to do the same in Europe.

Polls predict the party will win 25-27 per cent of the vote, four or five points ahead of the main opposition, the centre-left Democratic Party.
“Meloni has campaigned very hard, but not because she’s interested in the dynamics of the European parliament,” said Valerio Alfonso Bruno, a senior fellow at Polidemos, the Centre for the Study of Democracy and Political Change
