Abstract
AbstractWe perform a multi-scale analysis of the geometric structure of the network of X (Twitter at the time of data collection) interactions surrounding the Italian snap general elections of September 25th 2022. We identify within it the communities related to the major Italian political parties and after it we analyse both the large-scale structure of interactions between different parties, showing that it resembles the coalitions formed in the run-up to the elections and the internal structure of each community. We observe that some parties have a very centralised communication with the major leaders clearly occupying the central role, while others have a more horizontal communication strategy, with many accounts playing an important role. We observe that this can be characterized by checking whether the network in the community has a strongly connected giant component or not.
