Strictly speaking, to win the culture war we need intellectuals in tenured academic positions and in middle school. My hope is that we will be able to achieve at least a part of that during the next government, which is very likely to be shared between BoI and Lega (since 99% of our universities are public, it's not unlikely that they promote people of the ruling party). But yes, it was a very positive development. Not that much for BoI itself, which is good but still very "conservative" in the pejorative meaning, but because the political discourse is much more welcoming for identitarian ideas.

Edit: what really impressed me is that, while a few years ago nationalism was a semi-taboo, nowadays you are able to find people expressing very nationalist ideas basically everywhere: in the shops, in the bars, even in the geek community, which used to be very left leaning.

Is Brothers of Italy legit or are they zionists who'll let in a horde of immigrants legally?

Won't let the immigrants in and will defend the jus sanguinis to death, but the party itself is neutral reguarding Israel. I'm more concerned about economical policies, because the leadership is trying to appeal the middle class.

Edit: I must point out that Italy is different from USA. We don't have a Jewish lobby, the ADL or really anything like that. We don't support Israel by default as the United States do. I don't know if we recognize Gerusalem as Israel capital (I recently saw something about that but I wasn't interested), but we didn't for a very long time. We don't have Jews politicians or industrials really. Zionism is not a compelling issue here. Americanism is.
