🥁 Just accepted🥁 A new article is coming for @sespjournal.bsky.social! I explore a novel scenario: the coexistence of different populist radical right parties in the same govt, by focusing on the communication of FdI, League, Meloni, and Salvini. Main takeaway: valence attributes matter a lot.

Il 19 marzo sarò all’Università degli Studi di Firenze per parlare di populismo! Sono felicissimo di tornare alla Cesare Alfieri, a cui devo tantissimo; sono stato un suo studente magistrale e, poi, assegnista di ricerca.

🔥Great start to the week: a new paper accepted @sespjournal.bsky.social w/ F.Melito

"The Organization of Brothers of Italy: An Activist and Centralized Party Led by a ‘Mother in the Family’"

This is the first in-depth study on FdI’s organization, based on extensive interviews with party reps.
