Saying goodbye to an amazing supervisor who's heading back to @warwickecon. I couldn't have asked for a better mentor (you're not getting rid of me just yet, @essobecker!). More than anything, you're an incredible human. Warwick is lucky to have you back! Thanks 🙏

(5/5) In our recent paper we investigate the factors shaping voting behaviour in Italy from 1948 to 2022, focusing on the role played by historical resistance to fascism. @MonashUni @TheRealSodaLabs , L Panza, E Swee, @giulio_zanella @Unibo @UniMelb

[Marco Lecci @marco__lecci]

(1/5) Italy is now governed by the most right-wing government since Mussolini. How did this happen? Does this mean that anti-fascism is dead?
No, anti-fascism is not dead, but the far-right in Italy is not the same as it was 40 years ago.

[VoxEU @voxeu]

Data on voting behaviour in Italy 1948-2018 shows that modern right-wing platforms have reduced appeal for voters w/ connections to an anti-fascist tradition that was violently repressed.

[Marco Lecci @marco__lecci]

(4/5) The strategy to embrace a more populist platform it appears to diminish the negative impact that historical anti-fascist sentiment can have on voting behaviour for these parties.
