She promises to maintain Italy’s Atlantic alliances and says the country won’t take an authoritarian turn.
On the campaign trail, the leader of Italy’s left-center party, Enrico Letta, argued that if Italians hand power to the right, they would be doing a favor for Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has tried increasingly to sow strife in Europe — primarily by withholding energy exports — as his invasion of Ukraine has faltered.
But she and her allies would have leeway on the issue of immigration.
At that point, Italian President Sergio Mattarella will begin consultations with the new parliamentary leaders and representatives from the parties, on forming a cabinet and selecting a prime minister.
The rapid turnover of governments — generally before leaders have time to follow through on promises — has amplified a sense of alienation.

I'm going to tell you what's gonna happen exactly
Salvini's party which is arguably basically the same went through the same shit
They're contrarian, people vote, they get in power (they had 35% of the vote a couple years ago) but then they're all incompetent and don't get anything done and lose all their votes (this election he has less than 10%)
Meloni won because a lot of the centre left is sort of denying or downplaying the effects of the obviously poorly executed covid lockdowns etc so now the contrarian Meloni got a huge bunch of votes.
But as it always is in italian politics these people are genuinely incapable of doing anything at ALL and will barely get anything done and will eventually be replaced by a new party
Repeat this every few years with no changes at all

There's also the small matter of inflation and inevitable economic downturn they'll have to manage, along with plethora of the issue that face Italy. No party wants to be in this situation, and there is zero doubt Italian (incompetent) rightoids (incompetent) will not manage this well and in 4 years some centre left party will be voted in shortly after economy starts recovering.
