During the “sciopero legalitario” (legalitarian strike) in the summer of 1922, the leftist paramilitary formation of the Arditi del popolo, which had been declared illegal, attempted to counter the “black shirts” offensive, in some Italian cities. The events unfolding in Parma, where the Arditi del Popolo achieved a significant victory, are well known. Elsewhere, however, the antifascists mobilized to repel fascist raids on their cities. The most significant episodes occurred in Livorno, Ancona, Genoa, Bari, and Civitavecchia. Due in part to the wide breadth of the antifascist front (which included former interventionists), in the latter two localities, the fascists were pushed back, and imposed themselves only later.
