Oltrenero by Alessandro Cosmelli on El Pais Semanal
Thursday, 22 October 2009
Closer encounters with the new Italian “camerata”, successors of the Roman far right of the Nineties and protagonists of the “far high-centre”, as they consider themselves, as opposed to far right.
They keep the distance from post and new fascism. They look for solutions concerning the housing emergency issue. They claim sense of community. They are the new Italian fascists.
In time of Berlusconi and internet, all the way to Rome, managed by right-wing Mayor Alemanno, and  the capital’ social centers. OltreNero. Beyond the black.
Alessandro Cosmelli's reportage has been published on El Pais Semanal.
