Il Ventennio Fascista - una pesante eredità 
In the years following the First World War Italy saw a sudden surge of popular unrest due to the dissatisfaction caused by the huge suffering endured during the war and very little results to the international negotiating table. In the period 1919-20 the Socialists give way in the industrial areas to a series of workers' struggles in the countryside and direct the many peasant revolts. This "red tide" greatly concerned about the wealthier social classes, it is feared the outbreak of a communist revolution in Russia as it happened two years ago. Finally to avert this danger, some groups of soldiers on leave, decidono di impugnare le armi e di contrastare con la forza i "Sovversivi Rossi". Iniziano così una serie di sanguinosi scontri tra Manifestanti e Camice Nere (questo è il nome adotatto da questi ex-militari che indossano, per riconoscersi, camicie di quel colore), quest'ultime vengono viste di buon occhio dall'alta borghesia e dalle forze politiche perchè contribuiscono a ristabilire l'ordine nelle città e nelle campagne. Nel 1921 il loro leader, Benito Mussolini, decide di fondare un partito nel quale inquadrare questi corpi paramilitari e dargli così legittimità politica. Fonda il Partito Nazional Fascista (PNF) che nel giro di pochi anni ottiene l'incarico di governo e da vita ad una dittatura. Tra il 1925 e il 1926 con l'introduzione the "Read fascist" Italian liberal state ceases to exist and was born the personal dictatorship of Mussolini, once obtained the power and silenced the opponents, the Duce of Fascism is dedicated to the realization of his dream: to make Italy a world power. In the late 20's and 30's are made a series of public works to modernize the country and give jobs to the entire population: they are drained wetlands (known as the Pontine), are built roads and railways. Ethiopia was conquered in 1936 and founded the "Italian Empire" with the outbreak of World War II, Italy entered the war on the side of Nazi Germany, in just three years, however, will again knees. The regime fell, and defeated Nazism, postwar reconstruction began with the Marshall Plan. After several years in the '50s, a group of nostalgic founded a movement he will be back of Fascist Italy, was founded as "New Order". The purpose of this movement is to bring fascism to power, causing chaos and confusion to force the political forces to accept an authoritarian regime that imposes a new order. In the decade 1969-1980, the para-political movement is guilty of a series of terrorist attacks (the Bologna train station massacre, the train italicus, the Piazza Fontana bank, etc..) Purpose is to kill as many civilians as possible and then to provoke a state of chaos that had allowed thirty years earlier, Mussolini to seize power. In 1976 he founded another movement, the MSI (Italian Social Movement), also array fascist, but more moderate than New Order because it is based on the experience of the Italian Social Republic in 1943. In conclusion fascism has left a heavy legacy of which the effects were still metabolized. In our cities there are still many structures built during the Fascist period, our railway line still reflects the project desired by the Duce, the Civil Code of 1942 is still in force, but beyond that the fascist legacy includes millions of deaths due to of the war, the violence of the black shirts of the attacks and massacres carried out in recent years. In light of all this begs a question: the welfare and progress of a nation is more than personal freedom? In other words, politics as "the end justifies the means"?
