Considered a neo-fascist by his detractors, he calls himself a conservative, even if his Ingres violin is to collect objects that belonged to Benito Mussolini.

The students also attacked the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Lorenzo Fontana, who is a member of the Northern League. A traditionalist Catholic and close to Matteo Salvini, he is one of the architects of the League’s identity and sovereignty shift. While Italy is experiencing a demographic decline, he calls for reviving births “against the Islamic invasion”.
