Will Italy have its first female prime minister?

Italy appears to be on course to elect its first female prime minister and far-right leader since World War II.

The coalition will be led by Giorgia Meloni, who is credited with giving her party the meteoric rise it needed to win a national election.

Meloni said voters gave her a clear mandate to govern, and she will lead for all Italians.

So what will that mean for Italy and Europe?
