Giorgia Meloni, the leader of the Italian far-right party Fratelli D’Italia (FDI), announced earlier this month that the great-grandson of former Italian dictator Benito Mussolini would be running for a vacant seat in the European Parliament. While Mussolini did not specifically mention his great-grandfather’s fascism, he did reveal his admiration for the former Italian dictator who ruled Italy from 1919 to 1945. In an interview with the newspaper Il Messaggero, Mussolini said that he “will always be proud” of his family name and that he hopes voters will appreciate the “Mussolini brand.”
