Nemesi Italia (Nemesis Italy, NI) was a far-right youth organization based in Rome. Founded in 2018, NI focused on organizing Rome's high school and university students around a vaguely-conceived neo-fascist program whose objective was to "build a community of purpose and destiny that can help bring about a new human figure" (Nemesi Italia 2018a). Based around four guiding principles, NI promoted the establishment of "a new culture" which would help its members "rediscover" themselves "in a world in identity crisis," the discipline of "self-defense," both physical and intellectual, the importance of "connecting with nature" and rekindling one's awareness of "the harmony of natural perfection," and the establishment of a "community of destiny" (or a communal spirit) among the organization's members, similar to "the Roman Legions and the Germanic Student Brothers of past centuries." Although vaguely neo-fascist in both rhetoric and aesthetics, NI has published social media posts featuring quotes from known interwar and Cold War fascist intellectuals, including the infamous writings of the interwar Italian philosopher (Nemesi Italia 2018b).

Although ostensibly disbanded, NI dedicated much of its relatively short existence to disseminating a number of promotional posters to Rome's high schools and universities, including the poster included in this collection, and participating in various far-right demonstrations, rallies, and marches alongside the city's various other neo-fascist organizations.
