(About volleyball player Paola Egonu) I have never had any doubts about her Italian citizenship, and I am personally and wholeheartedly proud that she represents our country with her sporting excellence, but this cannot visually conceal her origins, which I am convinced she herself is proud of.

If I see a homosexual, I'm not like Dracula with a crucifix.

What I criticize is the exhibitionist flaunting of this taste, which often tends to override what is, in fact, the common sense of the majority. Gay Pride? If they want to hold a parade in Rome or Turin, let them do it. One might wonder why they want to show off. Gay Pride claims to be fighting for rights, but even that is debatable. Rights are not differentiated; rights are for everyone. There are no rights for gays, rights for heterosexuals, rights for blondes, for brunettes, for those with blue eyes: there are rights for people. It's exhibitionism.

Roberto Vannacci e Carla Bruni: "È stata mia compagna di scuola fino alle medie. Il mio periodo in classe è stato eccitante con figli di manager facoltosi e diplomatici"
'Il coraggio vince. Vita e valori di un generale incursore, Piemme, 2024; quoted in orizzontescuola.it'', 14 March 2024
(In elementary and middle school) There were those who had spent many years in Africa, those in Morocco, those in South America; their homes were filled with ever-changing and stimulating scents. It was then that I began to think of differences in language and culture as new territories to explore.
Quality is the story of differences.

Vannacci vuole classi separate per i disabili. Critiche da tutti
Alessia Guerrieri, avvenire.it, 27 April 2024
I believe that classes with separate characteristics (see w:it:classi differenziali) would help children with great potential to express themselves to the fullest, and even those with more difficulties would be helped in a special way. It is not discriminatory. For students with problems, I rely on specialists. I am not specialized in disabilities.
[...] I don't see why it is necessary to have an anti-fascist license to express one's opinions. I also claim consideration for Mussolini, who is a statesman, as were Cavour, Stalin, and all men who have held positions of state: it is the first definition of statesman in the dictionary.
(On abortion) [...] an unfortunate necessity that women are forced to resort to. I don't think it's a right.
