Italia Libera (anti-fascist organization)
Political Organization
Parent organization
Italia Libera was an Italian veterans' organization.
It was established after World War I by members of the Italian Republican Party to organize former servicemen who had been supportive of Italy's participation in the conflict but disapproved of the larger Associazione Nazionale Combattenti (ANC) and its sympathies towards Benito Mussolini's government.
After the assassination of Giacomo Matteotti it was one of the few groups which planned for armed resistance against Fascism, and would be one of the first organizations to be banned under the dictatorship.
