So in one hour we'll get an idea from the exit polls whether this was a blow-out for the far right and Meloni is sure to be invited to form a government, or whether it's more close and it make take some time for President Mattarella to decide who to invite.
If the vote is very close with no obvious coalition, the 🇮🇹president becomes very powerful. He then has leeway to propose his own ideas for government formation.
The president also technically has the power to choose ministers, though usually he does so based on PM instructions.
