This week Grace speaks to historian David Broder about Italian fascism. They analyse about the recent elections in which the Italian far-right party led by Giorgia Meloni, the Brothers of Italy, came to power. And they discuss the longer-term background of the rise of fascism, which David will be covering in his forthcoming book, Mussolini's Grandchildren.
