Two weeks earlier, a gang of 200 Nazi-skins marched through the
northern Italian city of Vicenza shouting racist slogans and waving
banners with swastika-like emblems. Mainstream political leaders
expressed outrage, but not Teodoro Buontempo, 48, a self-proclaimed
fascist elected to Parliament in March on the ticket of the National
Alliance, the successor to the party founded by followers of Benito
Mussolini. In an interview with the Turin daily La Stampa, Buontempo
said, "I would send them into the midst of society" to proclaim their
values.

The head of the MSI’s Rome federation was Teodoro Buontempo. He was
previously the leader of the Fronte Della Gioventu (Youth Front—the
youth organisation of the MSI), and has in the past been closely
involved in attempts to link up with and encompass a sizeable umbrella
grouping of Nazi skinheads known as the Movimento Politico (MP). The
MP is linked to the international “Naziskin” cultural movement Blood
and Honour, and has been implicated in numerous terrorist attacks on
immigrants, Jews and gypsies.

The puri e duri, the hardcore fascist elements, have been gritting
their teeth and screaming defiance. One group wanted to stage a
ceremony to mark the extinguishing of the flame at the “Altar of the
Nation”, the wedding cake-like symbol of Italy that towers over Piazza
Venezia in Rome. The city’s mayor, ironically himself a lifelong
“post-Fascist”, banned it.
But the puri e duri will not give up. “The National Alliance dies, the
Right lives!” declares a flyer scattered about by one of the
hard-right parties, whose symbol sports an oversized flame.
“Today, with the betrayal of our ideas, of our story and our
identity,” roars one of their leaders, Teodoro Buontempo, the national
president of The Right party, “we have the duty to make clearer than
ever that our party was born to assure the continuity of our ideals …
[Join us] to scream your indignation against a ruling class of
trimmers and nobodies.”
