^A: Not direct predecessor. FdI was established by former AN members, who had been part of the PdL in 2008–2012, and is the current bearer of AN's symbol under the authorization of the National Alliance Foundation.
In December 2012, FdI emerged from a right-wing split within The People of Freedom (PdL) party.[26] The bulk of FdI's membership (including Meloni, who has led the party since 2014), and its symbol, the tricolour flame,[27] hail from the post-fascist National Alliance (AN), which was established in 1995 and merged into PdL in 2009.[28] AN was the successor to the Italian Social Movement (MSI), a neo-fascist party active from 1946 to 1995.[29][30][31][32][33] However, FdI is home also to several former Christian Democrats[34][35] and half of its ministers are not former MSI members.[36][37]
On 17 December 2012, La Russa, one of the three PdL national coordinators, announced he was leaving the party to form the "National Centre-right" (Centrodestra Nazionale), including not just right-wingers but also Christian democrats and liberals from Forza Italia (FI) such as Crosetto and Cossiga.[61] The split from the PdL was agreed with Berlusconi to better represent the Italian right and offer an appealing choice to right-wing voters.[61] Simultaneously, Crosetto and Meloni announced the formation of "Brothers of Italy", whose name was taken from the first line of the Italian national anthem.[62] On 21 December, the two groups, formed mainly by former members of National Alliance such as La Russa, Meloni, Rampelli, Massimo Corsaro, Viviana Beccalossi, and Alfredo Mantica, joined forces as "Brothers of Italy – National Centre-right",[63] usually shortened to Brothers of Italy (FdI). La Russa's followers soon formed their own groups in most regional councils, starting with the Regional Council of Lombardy,[64] and the Senate of the Republic.[65]Carlo Fidanza and Marco Scurria, MEPs in the European People's Party group, also joined the party.[66]
2013 general election and aftermath
In the 2013 Italian general election, the party obtained 2.0% of the vote and won nine seats in the Chamber of Deputies.[67] On 5 March 2013, the party's executive board appointed La Russa president, Crosetto coordinator, and Meloni leader in the Chamber of Deputies. During the 2013 Italian presidential election's fourth ballot on 19 April, FdI decided to support Franco Marini, a Democratic Party (PD) member supported also by PdL and Lega Nord (LN). Following the unsuccessful outcome of the vote, FdI started voting for colonel Sergio De Caprio, known for having arrested Sicilian Mafia boss Salvatore Riina.[68] On 29 April, Meloni announced in the Chamber of Deputies the party's vote of no confidence for Enrico Letta's government, supported by PD, PdL, and Civic Choice.[69]
In February 2014, the party organised a primary in which members and supporters agreed to change the party's name to Brothers of Italy – National Alliance, chose the new symbol, including in small AN's one, and re-elected Meloni as president.[77] During the party's first congress in March 2014, FdI ratified the primary's outcomes; the congress also voted for the party to leave the European People's Party Group in the European Parliament and adopt Eurosceptic positions.[78][79] In the 2014 European Parliament election in Italy, FdI obtained 3.7% of the vote and no seats, while doing well in Central and Southern Italy, especially in Lazio (5.6%), Umbria (5.4%), Abruzzo (4.7%), and Campania (4.5%), as well as in north-eastern Friuli-Venezia Giulia (4.4%).[80]
During an assembly of the association in October 2015, the representatives of FdI, supported by former AN heavyweights who had remained in the PdL, won a decisive vote over a front led by Alemanno, who had left FdI earlier, joined forces with former allies of Gianfranco Fini and wanted to form a larger party, including FdI, which retained the use of AN's name and symbol, while Alemanno announced that he would create a Movement for the United Right.[81][82]
Road to the 2018 general election
In November 2015, it was announced that the party would undergo a new process of enlargement and that a new political committee, named Our Land (TN), would be launched by January 2016. TN would comprise FdI, along with other right-wing politicians, notably including Cossiga (former deputy of FI and founding member of FdI), Alberto Giorgetti (a deputy of FI, who was long a member of AN) and Walter Rizzetto (deputy of Free Alternative, originally elected with the Five Star Movement).[83][84][85] In March 2016, Rizzetto officially joined FdI and it was announced that the party's group in the Chamber would be renamed Brothers of Italy–Our Land.[86][87][88] The name change never happened, but the party's enlargement continued with the switch of two deputies from FI.[89]
During the party's second congress in December 2017, Meloni was re-elected president, the party was renamed simply Brothers of Italy, and a new symbol was unveiled. In the event, FdI welcomed several newcomers, notably including Daniela Santanchè and Bruno Mancuso,[94] respectively from FI and Popular Alternative (AP).[95][96][97] Mancuso became the party's third senator after Stefano Bertacco,[98] as well as Bartolomeo Amidei,[99] had previously switched from FI. Additionally, Crosetto and Urso returned to an active role in the party.[100] Finally, Alessandro Urzì led the Alto Adige in the Heart party into FdI.[101]
In the run-up to the election, several politicians previously affiliated with Berlusconi's FI joined the FdI electoral lists.[135][136] Notably, they included Giulio Tremonti (ex-PSI and ex-FI, former finance minister),[137]Marcello Pera (ex-PSI and ex-FI, former president of the Senate), Antonio Guidi (ex-PSI and ex-FI, former family and social solidarity minister), Giulio Terzi di Sant'Agata (former foreign affairs minister, honorary president of the PRT),[138]Carlo Nordio (former prosecutor, member of the PLI),[139] and Eugenia Roccella (a former Radical and feminist who later turned into a conservative feminist),[140] among others.[141] A general election candidate was sacked after praising Adolf Hitler.[142] While he remained a candidate, FdI removed its symbol from his candidature;[143] he was elected in the single-district constituency of Agrigento, Sicilia with 37.8% of the vote.[144] In one of Rome's single-seat constituencies, Ester Mieli, a former spokesperson of the local Jewish community and granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor,[145] was elected with 37.5% of the vote.[146][147]
In a record-low voter turnout election,[148]exit polls projected that the centre-right coalition would win a majority of seats in the 2022 general election.[39][149][150] Meloni was projected to be the winner of the election with FdI receiving a plurality of seats,[151] and per agreement with the centre-right coalition, which held that the largest party in the coalition would nominate the next prime minister,[152] she is the favourite to become Prime Minister and would be the country's first woman to hold the office.[153][154] On 13 October, the new parliamentary term started and FdI's La Russa was elected President of the Senate of the Republic;[155] he is the first politician with a neo-fascist background and to come from a post-fascist party to hold the position, which is the second highest-ranking office of the Italian Republic.[156][157][158]
After customary talks among the parties and the president, Sergio Mattarella, as part of the 2022 Italian government formation on 20–21 October,[159][160] Meloni accepted the task of forming a new government and announced the Meloni government, which assumed official functions after each ministers were sworn in on 22 October.[161][162] It was variously described as a shift to the political right,[163] and the first far-right-led coalition, as well as its first far-right leader,[164][165][166] since the Second World War.[167][168] Other than Meloni, the government included 9 FdI ministers, notably including Nordio at Justice, Crosetto at Defense, and Urso at Economic Development.[37] The Meloni government successfully won the confidence votes on 25–26 October with a comfortable majority in both houses of the Italian Parliament.[169][170][171]
In the 2024 European Parliament election, Meloni led the party in all five constituencies, after presenting the event as a vote of confidence on her leadership and government.[175] Differently from other parties, FdI privileged party stalwarts over signature candidates.[176] A rare exception was the inclusion of Vittorio Sgarbi,[177] whose candidacy would not succeed.[178] FdI came in first place in the election, winning 28.9% of the vote and 24 seats, ahead of the PD and centre-right coalition partners. Meloni, who was a candidate in all five constituencies, received 2.3 million preferences votes and was the most voted individual in the election.[179] The second most voted candidate in the party was Nicola Procaccini, outgoing chairman of the European Conservatives and Reformists group.[180]
In 2019, academic Đorđe Sredanović placed FdI, along with the neo-fascist parties CasaPound (a split from Tricolour Flame, which refused to join the National Alliance) and New Force (FN) from the Terza Posizione tradition, in the post-fascist/neo-fascist categories.[210] In October 2021, FdI distanced itself from FN after they violently assaulted the labour union Italian General Confederation of Labour's headquarters; the party abstained on a parliamentary motion to ban FN while condemning "all totalitarianisms". A December 2021 investigation by Fanpage.it on allegations of money laundering and illicit campaign financing also revealed FdI had ties with neo-Nazis in the Milan party section.[211] Meloni told Corriere della Sera there were no "nostalgic fascists, racists or antisemites in the Brothers of Italy DNA" and that she had always got rid of "ambiguous people",[134] and in other interviews she said there was no place for fascist nostalgia in FdI.[27]
FdI had several organised internal factions, including a minor liberal-conservative faction.[228] It has also been stated that some internal wings of the party have ties to the neo-fascism movement.[229][230] Factions include:
Alemanno and Poli Bortone left FdI, along with their factions, in December 2014 and April 2015, respectively.[231][232] In December 2019, Alemanno returned through the MNS.[233]
In June 2024, a Fanpage.it journalist infiltrated a Roman section of the party's youth organisation "National Youth". The resulting investigation showed how militants frequently use the Nazi slogan "Sieg Heil", make fascist salutes and praise Benito Mussolini. The organisation is said to have a policy of masking all these aspects publicly, while in private they are tolerated and promoted.[234]

The Movimento Sociale Italiano, a significant minority party, once seemed the best candidate for neofascism, but moderated and mutated continuously to win votes. By the 1990s it had morphed into the Alleanza Nazionale, a relatively standard and anodyne center-right parliamentary group.

Yet just two months after Ms. Meloni published her best-selling memoir, her party topped national opinion polls for the first time. Since then, it has continued to boast over 20 percent support and has provided the only major opposition to Mario Draghi's technocratic coalition. On Wednesday, in a sudden turn of events, the government collapsed. Early elections, due in the fall, could open the way for the Brothers of Italy to become the first far-right party to lead a major eurozone economy.

It was first published in his 1881 collection Poems. The story is original to Wilde, though it takes some hints from Lucian of Samosata and other ancient writers; it tells a tale of transgressive sexual passion in a mythological setting in ancient Greece. Contemporary reviewers almost unanimously condemned it, but modern assess...
