abstract:The National Fascist Party (Partito Nazionale Fascista; PNF) was an Italian political party, created by Benito Mussolini as the political expression of fascism (previously represented by groups known as Fasci; see also Italian Fascism). The party ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943.
In Italy, Gianfranco Fini, who has distanced his party, the post-fascist National Alliance, from its fascist heritage, joined the government of Silvio Berlusconi in 1994.
But others, including the post-fascist National Alliance's leader, Gianfranco Fini, whose party is set to join Mr Berlusconi's in a coalition government if the left loses the election due by next spring, suggested that the boss had mistackled.
But he would be vulnerable to Gianfranco Fini, the foreign minister, who is also deputy prime minister and leader of the second-biggest party on the right, the formerly neo-fascist National Alliance.
