1. Both books were published by il Mulino.

2. Partial exceptions are: Marco Tarchi, ‘Voters without a Party: the “Long Decade” of the Italian Centre-Right and its Uncertain Future’, South European Society & Politics, 23(1), 2018, pp. 147–162; Elisabetta De Giorgi and Filippo Tronconi, ‘The Centre-right in a Search for Unity and the Re-emergence of the Neo-Fascist Right’, Contemporary Italian Politics, 10(4), 2018, pp. 330–345.

The Brothers of Italy Between Continuity and Change’, South European Society & Politics, 2022, pp. 1–25, https://doi.org/10.1080/13608746.2022.2126247.; Alessia Donà, ‘The Rise of the Radical Right in Italy: The Case of Fratelli d’Italia’, Journal of Modern Italian Studies, 27(5), 5, 2022, pp. 775–794; Sofia Ventura, ‘Giorgia Meloni e Fratelli d’Italia.

4. The well-chosen adjective is not an invention of the authors of this book. The writer, Giuseppe Berto, used it half a century ago to define his position when he was invited to attend a conference ‘for the freedom of culture’ called by a right-wing association.

5. On the limits of this definition, and for a complementary and alternative proposal, see Marco Tarchi, Italia populista, il Mulino, Bologna 2015.
