CasaPound Italia – Piemonte

(CasaPound Italy – Piedmont)

This sticker comes from CasaPound Italia's (House of [Ezra] Pound Italy, CPI) Piemonte (Piedmont) chapter, which is located in northern Italy. Although the sticker was likely produced in Piedmont, it was collected from a metal pole just outside of CPI's illegally-occupied Roman headquarters on Via Napoleone III, where the neo-fascist organization's leadership has been squatting since December 2003.

The sticker was likely placed there by CPI members who had come to Rome to attend one of the group's social gatherings or sponsored lectures at the Esquilino squat. Between 2018 and the following year, CPI hosted a number of social gatherings or sponsored lectures at their Via Napoleone III headquarters, including a roundtable discussion on the "magical archeology" of the interwar Italian archeologist, Giacomo Boni.

CasaPound Italia – Piemonte This sticker was produced by or for CasaPound Italy's Piedmont chapter, which is located in northern Italy. The sticker was placed on a metal pole just outside of CasaPound Italy's illegally-occupied Roman headquarters, most likely by some of its Piedmont-based members who had come to Rome to attend one of the organization's social gatherings or sponsored lectures. Notice the permanent marker scribbles over CasaPound Italy's "Arrowed Turtle" logo, highlighting the ideological struggle between the far right and its opposition in the streets and piazze of contemporary Italy.
