Italy’s Supreme Court ruled the infamous fascist salute not to be a crime unless “there is an actual concrete danger of the reconstitution of the fascist party, which is absolutely excluded in the case of commemorations.” The latest court ruling comes just a little over 10 days after hundreds of fascists marched through the Italian capital doing the fascist salute.
