Anti-fascist demonstrators mark January 27 as a national day of remembrance by gathering in Milan's center to protest growing support for right-wing groups.


The day is held in Italy as a memorial for those who died fighting against Benito Mussolini's fascist government before and during World War II.

“It is clear that in difficult times democracy faces greater difficulties because there are those who try to solve problems by getting rid of democratic processes.
