This included the nation's four largest cities, Rome, Naples, Turin and Milan, as well as hundreds of smaller localities.

Rachele Mussolini is a member of the Brothers of Italy party, a far-right group critics say is rooted in neo-fascism.

The Brothers of Italy is one of a number of right-wing parties that have seen a steady increase in support and power in the country, including a similar faction known as the League. The party is the only major political party not to support the government of Prime Minister Mario Draghi who took office in February.
