The essay focuses on the figure of prefect Federico Fusco and his actions during the Parma events of August 1922. In a general context characterized by the escalation of political violence and the growing inability of the state to maintain law and order during the crucial period of fascism’s approach to power, Federico Fusco exercised his role consistently with a conception of neutrality of state authority, in line with a Giolittian tradition. His mediation action favored the protection of the Oltretorrente working-class neighborhoods insurgent against the fascist squads led by Italo Balbo. Because of his equidistance, with fascism in power, Fusco was transferred from Parma to other minor offices and then retired for reasons of service in 1928.
