Giorgia Meloni, poised to become the first woman to lead Italy, has distanced herself from her far-right past and campaigned as a conservative whom Italy and its allies needn’t fear
ROME—Three years ago, Giorgia Meloni, then the leader of a small far-right party, took the stage before a large crowd gathered in front of one of Rome’s most revered churches and delivered a speech that turned her into a pop-culture sensation.
“I am Giorgia! I am a woman! I am a mother! I am Italian! I am Christian! And you can’t take that away from me,” she boomed. After the rally, two amateur DJs remixed that phrase into an electro-dance track. Intended to mock her, the track instead went viral and boosted her popularity among conservative voters looking for new leadership.
