Parents who dressed kid as 'balilla' face charges

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 12 - A couple of parents are facing possible trial after dressing their son up in 'balilla' Fascist youth uniform to mark the 100th anniversary of Mussolini's March on Rome in October 2022 at the dictator's birthplace of Predappio in Emilia-Romagna.
    Proecutors in nearby Forlì have asked for the parents to be tried along with many other Fascist sympathisers who attended the event on charges of braking two laws against reforming the banned Fascist Party, local media reported Tuesday.
    A preliminary hearing has been set for May 17, by which time the supreme Cassation Court will have issued its keenly awaited explanation of a mid-January ruling which apparently said that fascist salutes are permitted for commemorations, but not when there was the concrete risk of trying to restore the Fascist party.
