Meloni could be Italy's first female prime minister.
Rome is the centre of attention in Europe because of this potential first and worries that Meloni would bring back an ideology that hasn't been present in Italy since World War II.
Pollsters predict that a conservative coalition will be elected to parliament on Sunday, led by Meloni as prime minister.
Meloni, the archconservative of Italian politics, joined the neo-fascist Social Movement at age 15 in 1992, showing strong support for Benito Mussolini, who ruled the nation from 1925 to 1945.
Meloni has denied the parallels, casting her suggested conservative coalition as a nationalist movement
that would wrest control away from Brussels, despite the fact that Fratelli d'Italia's party imagery calls to mind Italy's Nazi past.
The technocrat government kept together by former European Central Bank president Mario Draghi would drastically change under a Meloni administration.
