A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on October 28, 2006.

Photo in History section

To man to the left of Mussolini appears to be Emilio De Bono, is this correct? If so, he should be identified. --NEMT 16:49, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shirts

At the end of that first paragraph, what is all that about the shirts? It needs to be clarified.

Spanish Civil War

There should probably be a section on their involvement in the Spanish Civil War.(Lucas(CA) 02:09, 7 September 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Split

This article seems to be weighing in on a lot of various subjects, nationalities, etc. Perhaps it should be split up into smaller or more specific articles for clarity's sake? Just my two cents. 158.143.155.244 (talk) 13:41, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No proof

There is no proof they raped people so I deleted this statement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.248.84.32 (talk) 20:13, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Missing from this Article

The opening section includes this phrase: …they used violence and intimidation against Mussolini's opponents. Unfortunately, that's all it says about this topic. I'm not against including the details of rank and insignia, but what I really came her for was to learn more about their place in history, which is all about the violence and intimidation against Mussolini's opponents. That seems central. Where is it? —MiguelMunoz (talk) 14:44, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

flag

@Havsjö:, can you provide any sources regarding your claims about the flag? Gooduserdude (talk) 18:25, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Gooduserdude: Just google "MVSN flag".[1][2][3][4] The early "Squadrismo" blackshirts used the skull-and-dagger motif of the Arditi, but the formalized/militarized MVSN used black flags with fasces (although I do not believe they had a formal "Flag of the MVSN", but rather used generic designs of "black flag with fasces" like the party it was the armed branch of). Its a bit confusing when "Squadrisimo" and "Blackshirts" are 2 different articles when the latters title seems to refer to the whole "lifespan" of the group while talking basically only about the formalized/militarized MVSN (rather than the earlier "street fighters"). --Havsjö (talk) 10:28, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
