A group of students were beaten by neo-Fascist activists in Rome on Tuesday after managing to stop a far-Right rally at their university.

In the second round of extremist violence in Italy's capital in four days, the group were attacked outside La Sapienza University after hanging anti-Fascist banners.

The students had earlier successfully opposed Forza Nuova, a neo-Fascist political party, from holding a rally in a university building.

However, a gang of Forza Nuova supporters staged a retaliation by throwing rocks, injuring 10 people. Three were taken to hospital with wounds to their heads and shoulders.

"It was a premeditated attack by a small group," said Francesco Raparelli, a student. "They did not have their faces covered and they were all over 40 years old, armed with rocks, belts and knives."

Gianni Alemanno, the mayor of Rome, said: "This violence has to be condemned. There are some dangerous imbeciles in the city who must be stopped."

Many Italians blame Silvio Berlusconi's government for fostering a climate of hate, intolerance and xenophobia.

Paolo Ferrero, a member of the Communist Party, said: "One thing is sure in Rome, we are in a full emergency. The problem is thanks to the emergence of fascists. The state and the police must intervene immediately to isolate the fascist cells."

Again Teams in action. This time happens at La Sapienza University, again in Rome, the protagonist in these days of a fascist revival of another era.

Everything stems from a conference on Foibe massacres that the neo fascists should keep in their classrooms the ateneo Roman.

The offence for which you proceed is to brawl worsened. Wednesday, the process for
direct.

I want to go to Italy to citizens arrest these mummys bully boys under Italian & EU law. If they resist arrest we can force them down, we would have to make sure of course we had evidence on our side.But seems Berlusconi & his fascist mafia regime are turning a blind eye though,seems he has got his bully boys to assinate some of the decent judges. Hitler & Duce must be proud, will they be allowed to start systematically murdering children & babies again before good people do something?
Even Al capone would have fought against these kind of scum.

Language school run by Italian fascist leader

A popular language college in London is controlled by the leader of an Italian neo-fascist party who has links to the British National party, the Guardian has learned.

CL English Language, a college in west London that teaches hundreds of foreign students each year, is controlled by Roberto Fiore, leader of Forza Nuova, an extreme right-wing party.

Fiore, who once said he was happy to be described as a neo-fascist and who is an old friend and mentor of Nick Griffin, leader of the BNP, was appointed as a director of the college more than two years ago and became sole director in August last year.

Many of the students, who pay up to £30 an hour for tuition, are Italian, while others are from Africa, the far east and eastern Europe. None of those interviewed outside the college last week were aware of Fiore's involvement. Staff at the college have said there are usually more than 100 students there at any one time. Despite its size, however, its latest accounts show that it recorded a profit of just £2,214 during 2006, and £1,821 the year before.

The accountants for the college are Edgar and Jean Griffin, Nick Griffin's parents, who live in Welshpool, Powys. Edgar Griffin confirmed that the language school was a "substantial business", but declined to say why its reported profits were so small. "You must know that an accountant can't talk about his client's affairs to anyone, leave alone a newspaper," he said.

The BNP's spokesman and deputy leader, Simon Darby, denied the party received funds from the school. Asked about the party's relationship with Fiore he said: "If I did know I wouldn't tell you. I know that he knows Nick [Griffin]. I have never met the man." Fiore and his lawyer have repeatedly declined to answer questions about CL English, or about his relationship with Griffin and his parents. The college principal declined to comment on the college finances, but said: "There is nothing illegal going on."

Fiore arrived in Britain in October 1980 as a 21-year-old fugitive from the Italian police, who wanted to question him about the Bologna train station bombing two months earlier in which 85 people were killed and more than 200 injured.

He was reputed to be a member of the extreme right-wing organisation the Armed Revolutionary Nuclei, several of whose members were subsequently convicted of mass murder. After being arrested by Scotland Yard officers the following year, Fiore was brought before Bow Street court, but the authorities in Rome failed to secure his extradition.

Fiore settled in London and became friendly with Griffin; the two are reported to have shared a flat and are also said to have run a travel agency together.

In Rome, meanwhile, he was cleared of involvement in the bombing, butwas convicted of subversive association and jailed for nine years, reduced to five-and-a-half on appeal. The jail term was eventually "timed out" under Italy's statute of limitation laws, and Fiore was able to return to his homeland in April 1999.

He had already founded Forza Nuova, an anti-immigration party committed to revoking laws that ban the recreation of the fascist party. A year after his return he was quoted as saying: "If you call me a neo-fascist I won't kick up a fuss."
