Abstract

The Italian Constitution is founded on a strong anti-fascist sentiment, which united all the political forces represented in the Constituent Assembly. Nonetheless, party bans do not represent a serious threat to neo-fascist movements. Despite a constitutional provision and an ordinary law regulating the issue, their use has so far been limited to associations of minor size and relevance.
