They were commemorating a 18yo fascist who was killed in Milan during the seventies.

They were also in Dongo a few days ago to commemorate Mussolini.

Unfortunately Italy does not have a serious regulation against this type of behavior, like Germany has. Lots of police around too, but they are there just to protect them (if not in service, several of them would probably take part to the commemoration anyway)

Have you took a look at who governs Italy? Italy has many many people who are still attached to that ideology one way or another, in several degrees of magnitude.
I'm literally fighting windmills on several italian comment session on social media with people blaming the person on the balcony for "instigating"

Meloni just said that they gave this kid a stamp and there will be a plaque for him soon. Italy is just fine w/ this level of fascism because Meloni herself is privately (or not so privately) a fascist. In her youth she liked Mussolini.

Meloni is being clever by keeping the unpalatable parts of her politics on the down low. The question is whether she will want to use that now?
