Italian far-right figure Roberto Vannacci has ignited controversy with a newly released, AI-generated video. The video depicts Vannacci, a retired general, as a Roman emperor presiding over a modern-day "trial" in the Colosseum. Seated beside him is current Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Four prominent political opponents – Giuseppe Conte, Elly Schlein, Romano Prodi, and Laura Boldrini – are shown awaiting judgement within the arena. The provocative imagery has drawn criticism, highlighting Vannacci's strategy of utilizing shock value. This move comes as Vannacci attempts to establish himself as a key player within the Italian far-right. The video’s release is already fueling debate about the boundaries of political messaging and the influence of AI in campaigns.
