The Italian Social Movement held a similar position in Italian politics that the National Democratic Party of Germany did in Germany ; careful enough to stay within the laws of the new democratic state , but still clearly identified with the Axis legacy . During the 1950s , the MSI moved closer to bourgeois conservative politics on the domestic front , which led to radical youths founding hardline splinter groups , such as Pino Rauti 's Ordine Nuovo ( later succeeded by Ordine Nero ) and Stefano Delle Chiaie 's Avanguardia Nazionale . These organisations were influenced by the esotericism of Julius Evola and considered the Waffen-SS and Romanian leader Corneliu Zelea Codreanu a reference , moving beyond Italian fascism . They were implicated in paramiliary attacks during the late 1960s to the early 1980s , such as the Piazza Fontana bombing . Delle Chiaie had even assisted Junio Valerio Borghese in a failed 1970 coup attempt known as the Golpe Borghese , which attempted to reinstate a fascist state in Italy
