Does right also mean conservative types in Italy like it does in America?

I won't pretend to know how parties in other countries work or their terminology for things.

it means probably more like a centrist Democrat or RINO, because anyone to the right of Mitt Romney in Europe is "Far Right"

Not sure about that part. Could mean not nearly looney left.

"The right" in the European political model is not comparable to what the US refers to as "the right." European political theory isn't predicated on the tenets of the U.S. Constitution. Both the left and the right in the European model are opposite sides of the same statist coin ([L]:Communism<--->National Socialism:[R]). Whereas "the right" in the U.S. is associated with constitutional originalist principles, the "left" in the U.S. is a direct transplant from the European political thinkers. The fact that the opponents of the left in the U.S. have been dubbed "the right" for ease of description in no way analogizes the political philosophy of the U.S. "right" and the European "right."

Yup. Pretty much. Right-wing. Inheritor of Mussolini's fascist party.

A Roman with a pronounced local accent, she can still play the populist firebrand, whipping up her nationalist base with right-wing identity politics. She frequently rails against what she calls the “LGBTQ lobby” and left-wing cultural elites, and has called for a naval blockade against immigrants.

At age 15, Ms. Meloni joined the youth wing of the Italian Social Movement, or MSI, which was founded by former members of Mussolini’s fascist party after World War II. She rose through the ranks of MSI’s successor, the far-right National Alliance, and first entered Italy’s Parliament in 2006. National Alliance, which sought to shed the fascist legacy, merged with former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s center-right party soon afterward.

After Mr. Berlusconi fell from grace amid multiplying scandals and the eurozone debt crisis, Ms. Meloni and other far-right veterans founded Brothers of Italy with the aim of reviving a nationalist, anti-immigration party. They adopted MSI’s logo of a flame in Italy’s national colors of green, white and red.
“The flame is a neofascist symbol,” says Saverio Ferrari of the Democratic Observatory on the New Right, a nongovernmental organization.

The past still haunts Brothers of Italy. Some party members and supporters have overtly neofascist sympathies. A video of Ms. Meloni, then 19 years old, telling French television that “Mussolini was a good politician” still circulates widely on the internet.

Italy’s Election Front-Runner Sheds Far-Right Image, Courts the West

Giorgia Meloni has distanced herself from her far-right background and campaigned as a conservative whom Italy and its allies needn’t fear.
