Tigrino Sabatini
Tigrino Sabatini, (8 March 1900 – 3 May 1944) was a communist and a leader of the Italian Resistance, executed for his activities as a zone-commander of the Movimento Comunista d'Italia, also known as ''Bandiera Rossa.'' Born in the province of Siena, the young Sabatini was an early member of the Communist Party of Italy, and militarily resisted the initial rise of Fascism in the ranks of the Arditi del Popolo. Having worked in Rome's Snia tram factory, Sabatini joined the Scintilla group in 1940, in the attempt to re-create the Communist Party after its long repression under Benito Mussolini's rule. Joining the dissident MCd'I/Bandiera Rossa upon its creation in August 1943, Sabatini advocated a strategy for the partisan struggle, and criticised the moderation of official Communist Party leaders: in the tramworker's view 'Lenin turned war into revolution. Stalin, Togliatti and he Rome PCI’s MarioAlicata send militants to fight the war'. He quickly became a popular commander ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Italian Resistance
The Italian resistance movement (the ''Resistenza italiana'' and ''la Resistenza'') is an umbrella term for the Italian resistance groups who fought the occupying forces of Nazi Germany and the fascist collaborationists of the Italian Social Republic during the Second World War in Italy from 1943 to 1945. As an anti-fascist movement and organisation, ''La Resistenza'' opposed Nazi Germany, as well as Nazi Germany's Italian puppet state regime, the Italian Social Republic, which was created by the Germans following the Nazi German invasion and military occupation of Italy by the ''Wehrmacht'' and the '' Waffen-SS'' from September 1943 until April 1945 (though general underground Italian resistance and resistance groups to the Fascist Italian government began even prior to World War II). In Nazi-occupied Italy, the Italian anti-fascist resistance fighters, known as the ''partigiani'' ( partisans), fought a ''guerra di liberazione nazionale'', or a war for national liberation ...

Movimento Comunista D'Italia
The ''Movimento Comunista d'Italia'' (MCd'I), best-known after its newspaper ''Bandiera Rossa'', was a revolutionary partisan brigade, and the largest single formation of the 1943-44 Italian Resistance in Rome. History Growing out of communist underground circles like '' Scintilla'' that sought to recreate the Communist Party of Italy crushed in 1926, the MCd'I would clash with other anti-fascist forces, including Palmiro Togliatti's Moscow-backed ''Partito Comunista Italiano'', over the correct attitude to take to the partisan struggle. The MCd'I, which suffered some 186 deaths among its close to three-thousand members under Wehrmacht occupation, advocated 'turning the war between nations into a war between classes' in 'the struggle to create a Soviet republic on Italian soil', but it would be banned by the Western Allies soon after Liberation.. Its leaders included lifelong communist militant Tigrino Sabatini (executed 3 May 1944), Raffaele de Luca, Antonino Poce, Felice Chilanti ...
