About

Fratelli d'Italia (Brothers of Italy) was founded in 2012 as the direct successor to Alleanza Nazionale, itself heir to the post-war Italian Social Movement. Under Giorgia Meloni's leadership the party evolved from a marginal force into Italy's most voted party, winning 26% in the 2022 general election. It now leads a centre-right governing coalition and is the dominant force within the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group in the European Parliament. The party stands for national sovereignty, border security, traditional family values and a EU of nation-states rather than a federal superstate.
