Rachele Mussolini, a Rome city councillor and the granddaughter of Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, has announced that she is leaving Premier Giorgia Meloni's right-wing Brothers of Italy (FdI) party and joining its centre-right ally, Forza Italia (FI).
    "I will enter FI very soon," Rachele Mussolini told ANSA on Thursday.
    "Everyone had been informed.
    "I thank FdI for having believed in me and having supported me for two candidacies.
    "The affection and esteem remain, but it is time for me to turn the page and join a party that I feel is closer to my moderate, centrist sensibilities".
