Italy’s media tend to hype each election as the most historic, usually exaggerating. Not this time. If the polls of the past two months are correct, then the right wing will win in the early parliamentary elections on Sunday. And not that centrodestra, as was known from the days when Silvio Berlusconi shaped the conservative camp in Italy: European center with a hard right tangent. But the extreme nationalist right with a very weak liberal flank. This has never happened since the birth of the republic, since 1946.
