For 40 years, Anna Maria Tortora has been selling tomatoes and cucumbers to her loyal customers in her small shop on the outskirts of Rome. She would never have imagined that the little girl, who used to hold the line tightly shaking her grandfather's hand, would win the general election in Italy.

"He was a wonderful man," she says in a BBC report about Giorgia Meloni, who could become Italy's first prime minister. "He loved his granddaughter very much." Anna Maria is proud of Meloni's achievement. "I grew it with my own beans. He was fed well and grew well."

The Garbatella market serves as a rallying point for Rome's southern quarter, where most residents are working class and the area has traditionally been a bastion of the left. "She doesn't represent this area, which has historically been red," says Marta, a vendor at the market. "I am an ardent anti-fascist. If he takes office, an ugly period will begin."

Meloni strongly rejects the fascist label. In several media appearances, she says that ideology belongs to the past. But the past is part of the problem, in a country like Italy, where denazification did not happen like in Germany. Across the Adriatic, fascist parties have been allowed to form, and Meloni emerged from one of them, the Italian Social Movement. "Her party is not fascist", Gianluca Passarelli, professor of political science at "La Sapienza", tells the BBC. "Fascism means to take power and destroy the system. She doesn't want that and she can't do it either."

Born in Rome, she was only 4 years old when her father, Francesco, left for the Canary Islands, abandoning her and her mother. his father was left-leaning, his mother, Anna, right-leaning. Many think that it was precisely the desire to take revenge on his father that made him embrace the ideas of the extreme right. After the family moved to Garbatella, to stay closer to his grandparents, at the age of 15 he joined the Youth Front, later taking over the leadership of the organization.

"I grew up with my beans"... In the "communist" market, the
Giorgia Meloni and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban are seen as an anti-EU "alliance".

"Meloni is not a danger to democracy, but a danger to the European Union", says Passarelli. "She is on the same "team" as Marine Le Pen and Viktor Orban. She wants the Europe of nations, where practically everyone is on their own".
