Meloni is trying to use this war to justify an increased military spending aimed towards a bigger role of Italy in the Mediterranean. I'm not making up that stuff, she explicitly said that a month ago during the Milanese convection.

Last time Italy had a fascist government, they channeled this against Greece for no reason other that sheer expansionism:
