A female militant for
far-right group Forza Nuova (FN, New Force) was sent to trial
March 20 for wearing an ''Auschwitzland' t-shirt on last year's
annual rally of Fascist sympathisers at Mussolini's Romagna
birthplace of Predappio on the anniversary of the March on Rome
on October 28.
The trial was ordered after Selene Ticchi D'Urso filed an
appeal against her suspended sentence of four months, commuted
to a fine of 9,000 euros, for the incident.
FN recently allowed her to rejoin the movement after she was
suspended over the incident.
Some 3,000 so-called 'nostalgic ones' filed to Mussolini's
tomb in Predappio on Sunday ahead of Monday's anniversary of the
March on Rome which ushered in the Fascist regime in 1922.
One of the demonstrators was dressed like a Fascist 'gerarca'
or higher-up.
He was ejected from the march.
Like every year, the partisan association ANPI condemned the
march and called it illegal under postwar laws banning the
apology of Fascism.
Leftwing and centrist parties called it a "crime".
