Brothers of Italy, which Meloni founded in 2012, is a political descendant of the Italian Social Movement (MSI), formed by supporters of fascist dictator Benito Mussolini after World War II. Fast-growing in popularity, the party uses a symbol featuring a tri-colored flame that had been an icon of MSI.
