Sumario:A few months after the end of the Second World War, Italian neo- -fascism reorganised itself into a party, the Italian Social Movement (1946-1995), a direct heir to the fascist tradition. In this text, we will analyse how the ruptures in Italian neo-fascism took place, considering three main moments: the context of the migration of former fascists to communism or Christian democracy; the disputes between the internal currents of the MSI: the majority conservative centre, the revolutionary republican inspiration of Saló and the spiritualist fascism of Julius Evola; finally, the normalisation of the MSI in political life in the 1990s and its subsequent dissolution. Throughout its history, and even in the next phase, the post-fascist National Alliance, the MSI questioned fascist doctrine, suffered internal contrasts between a stabilising function in an anti-communist key and anti-system praxis, but hardly questioned the Mussolinian myth, which continues to influence the Italian right.
