| Italian politician, born in Gallipoli, NW Turkey. A member of the Fascist action squads, he became deputy leader of the Partito Nazionale Fascista or PNF (National Fascist Party) (1921–3, 1926–31). Mussolini rewarded him by making him party leader (1931–9). As such, he emphasized the more showy and in-your-face elements of the Fascist doctrine. He was then in charge of the MVSN (Milizia Volontaria per la Sicurezza Nazionale) until 1941. He was captured and executed by the partisans. |
