A little more than 24 hours before a vote of the Italian Parliament that could spell the end of the Giuseppe Conte-led government, we interviewed the journalist Matteo Pucciarelli, author of a book entitled "Anatomy of a populist - The true story of Matteo Salvini".


The book analyses the figure of the leader of the League and current Deputy Prime Minister and was written in 2016, when the League was in opposition and had a very low voter percentage compared to the 35-40% that polls attribute to it today.
