The Italian Social Movement was a neo-fascist political party founded in Italy after the Second World War by veterans of Mussolini's Italian Social Republic, with Giorgio Almirante as one of its leaders. It operated within the republican system, winning a modest share of the vote and seats in parliament, and it was kept apart from governments by the other parties for decades. Its supporters were linked to nostalgia for fascism, and the party was criticised for its connections with far-right violence. In 1995, under Gianfranco Fini, it dissolved into the National Alliance, a more mainstream right-wing party that moved away from the fascist legacy and later joined the governing coalitions led by Silvio Berlusconi.
