Italy’s current government is led by the Brothers of Italy party, which has roots in post-war fascism.
Its leader, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, has said her movement has completely changed and that it is clear her politics are not those of the people raising their arms in Milan.
But some fear she and her party have not moved far enough away from their political origins and that what was once considered the extreme is becoming mainstream.
Ms Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party bears the same three-coloured flame logo adopted by neo-fascist groupings after the second world war, but she has progressively shifted her movement away from the far right.
