Sangiuliano’s ‘Make Naples Great Again’ Caps Draw Mockery in Campania Campaign

The Fratelli d’Italia lead candidate in Campania is courting preference votes with Trump‑style branding.

Overview

  • Corriere della Sera reported he ordered 500 red caps with the slogan and debuted them at a campaign dinner in central Naples.
  • The event was held at Ristorante Europeo Mattozzi, where Angela Merkel was dining nearby, according to the report.
  • Sangiuliano said he asked Merkel about the war in Ukraine and described her reaction, a detail not independently corroborated in the coverage.
  • An op-ed by Massimo Gramellini in Corriere criticized the imported slogan as unoriginal and noted the awkward 'MNGA' acronym.
  • He is pursuing an intensive regional tour with up to ten public events per day as he works to gather large numbers of preference votes.
