Abstract
This chapter examines the role of Brothers of Italy (Fratelli d’Italia, FdI) in representative and government institutions. The first part focuses on the party’s parliamentary group. It stresses that it is not only the number of elected parliamentarians that matters, but also the type of political personnel FdI has selected to represent its constituencies. Like its voters, FdI representatives tend to be male, older and less educated than those of its main competitors. The discussion then moves on to a brief analysis of the party in government by considering its role in the executive formed in the aftermath of the 2022 general election. Finally, the chapter provides a multi-level overview of FdI’s presence in local, regional and European institutions. The postscript compares FdI to the main populist radical right parties in Western Europe, with a particular focus on France, Spain and Germany.
