So if you lived that for a bit, you probably understand better than some above what it means to be a sort of nationalist as she is. When you family members have been killed, persecuted, incarcerated in fascist camps (no, nazis were not the only ones having those), homes destroyed etc. you can't say it any other way but f....g nationalist.
For some reason 99% of Italians completely forgot what happened until 1943, my friends included.

"In 1992, Meloni joined the Youth Front, the youth wing of the Italian Social Movement (MSI), a neo-fascist political party founded in 1946 by former followers of Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. She later became the national leader of Student Action, the student movement of the National Alliance (AN), a post-fascist party that became the MSI's legal successor in 1995 and moved towards national conservatism. She was a councillor of the Province of Rome from 1998 to 2002, after which she became the president of Youth Action, the youth wing of AN. In 2008, she was appointed Italian Minister of Youth in the Berlusconi IV Cabinet, a role which she held until 2011"

Italian politics gets virtually no coverage here so that's entirely understandable. I didn't get how fucked up it all is until I lived there for a bit.
