In Italy, far-right political groups have been perpetrators of many cases of racial discrimination. Between 2008 and 2019, extreme right groups were responsible for over 600 such episodes. In addition, groups belonging to the right-wing, Lega, were accountable for almost 200 cases of racial discrimination. Lega is one of the largest political parties in Italy. Over the years, members of this party have been making a significant number of statements based on xenophobia and incitement to hatred. The party secretary, Matteo Salvini, has been creating campaigns on anti-migration, cultivating feelings of hate in the country.
