“Giorgia Meloni said that Italy's Housing Plan would make 100,000 homes available at controlled prices over 10 years.”
Contemporaneous reports directly record Meloni announcing an objective of 100,000 controlled-price homes over ten years. The attribution is therefore well supported. The final approved plan later presented the 100,000 total as a combination of public housing and controlled-price units, but that does not erase her earlier statement.

“Milan has the highest reported crime rate among Italian provincial capitals.”
Milan’s metropolitan province leads the cited Italian crime index, but the available evidence does not establish the same result for capital municipalities. The index counts police-reported offenses per 100,000 residents across provinces or metropolitan territories, whereas the claim describes a comparison among provincial-capital cities. That geographic mismatch materially limits the conclusion.

“Italy invaded Russia twice: once during the Russian Civil War near Vladivostok with an Italian military contingent, and once during World War II alongside Nazi Germany.”
The underlying history is real, but the wording overstates the first episode. Italy sent forces into Russian/Soviet territory twice: a small Allied contingent near Vladivostok during the Russian Civil War and a much larger force alongside Germany in 1941-1943. But only the World War II case is plainly an invasion; the Siberian episode is usually described as an intervention or expedition, not an Italian invasion of Russia.

“Brazilian citizens can obtain Italian citizenship by descent (jure sanguinis) under current Italian law.”
Italian law still permits some Brazilian citizens to obtain citizenship by descent, so the statement is not unsupported. However, the 2025 reform drastically narrowed eligibility: most Brazilian descendants who already hold Brazilian citizenship no longer qualify unless they fit narrow exceptions, typically tied to an Italian-only parent or grandparent, transitional status, or a parent’s qualifying residence in Italy.
