NEO-FASCIST GROUP GATHEREDMILAN, ITALY - APRIL 29: Neo-fascist and far-right groups in Italy on Tuesday, Apr. 30, marked the 50th anniversary of the death of a young militant with a Nazi salute. They held a commemorative event in Milan to honor Sergio Ramelli, a 19-year-old who died in a hospital on April 29, 1975 after being bludgeoned the previous month by far-left militants. People gathered at the site where the assault leading to Ramelli's death occurred. They gave a Nazi salute in his honor while chanting “Here.” Ramelli, a member of the extreme right-wing "Youth Front" in the 1970s, was assaulted while heading home in Milan on March 13, 1975. He remained in a coma for a while before passing away on April 29. •⁠ ⁠Fascist salute for members of Mussolini's cabinet Fifteen officials who served in Italian dictator Benito Mussolini's cabinet were also commemorated with a fascist salute. Mussolini, who ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943 and sided with Nazi Germany during World War II, was commemorated on the anniversary of his death in his birthplace in Predappio and the town of Dongo where he was captured during the war. Criticism arose when 70 people organized a commemorative event for Mussolini and the 15 officials captured in Dongo on the shore of Lake Como. The Italian Supreme Court announced on April 17 the decision of a previously decided case, saying that the use of the fascist salute at events such as commemorative ceremonies could be considered a crime.
