Rightwing politician Ignazio La Russa, who was filmed in 2018 with fascist memorabilia at his house, has been elected speaker of Italy's upper house. 
La Russa is a co-founder and member of the Brothers of Italy party, whose leader, Giorgia Meloni, is set to lead a rightwing coalition as prime minister after a successful election in late September. 
Footage recorded in 2018 shows the La Russa escorting reporters around his house, showing showing busts and mini-statues of Mussolini
