ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Italy, the country that first coined the term "fascismo" more than a century ago, is poised on Sunday to elect a prime minister whose party descended from fascism. The failure of Italy's current governing party to maintain a coalition has left Giorgia Meloni and her far-right Brothers of Italy party in the lead. Why would Italy choose to return to its fascist past?
