Overview
- Marina Caprioni, widow of registrant Riccardo Mercante, says her family will not cede the Futuro Nazionale mark to Roberto Vannacci.
- Vannacci says he will keep using the name and logo until an authority forbids it, while his allies contend the symbol is duly registered.
- Media checks suggest the 2011 filing was not renewed in 2020 and could be free under trademark rules, and the association Nazione Futura has challenged the logo for similarity.
- Lega deputies Edoardo Ziello and Rossano Sasso left for the Mixed Group and declared their alignment with Vannacci, citing a break over military aid to Ukraine.
- The project lacks the 20 deputies needed to form a parliamentary group and early polls range from 1.6% to 4.2%, as center‑right figures send cautious signals about cooperation.
