"Forza Nuova" (New Force http://www.forzanuova.org)
- This seems to be the most radical of the right-extremist
parties currently, and especially the most attractive for younger
people. It was founded 1997 in London by two right-extremists
presumably involved in the 1980 bomb attempt in Bologna. The
"Forza Nuova" maintains good contacts to other
right-extremist parties in Europe, including the British
"National Front" and the German NPD. Similar to the
latter the "Forza Nuova" attracts not only former
members of right-extremist groups banned in the 1990ies, but also
many of the Italian skinheads. In the 2001 elections the party
got 0,04% and 0,12% of the votes (Camera and Senato,
respectively).
The logo shows on a blue field the Italian cockade together with
the inscriptions "FN" (black) and "FORZA
NUOVA" (white). Logo at cedweb.mininterno.it:8890.
The flag is similar to the logo, but the field is either blue or black, and all
inscriptions are white.

There exists another type
of flag (unofficial or former flag?) reminiscent of the NSDAP
flag: on a red field a white circle with the black letters
"F" and "N". Furthermore, followers of the
party use flags with a Celtic cross, either with white cross on
black or with black cross on a white disk on a red field. A
variant shows a red Celtic cross on the white stripe of a Tricolore.

The NSDAP-style flag of the New Force with the letters FN on the disc also
exists in variant with black and red colours reversed - in fact, this variant
can be found much more frequently on the Web than the earlier one. The black
letters FN, in somewhat different form, sometimes appear in the centre of the
Tricolore, which in this case seems to have the aspect ratio visibly different
from that of the national flag (about 1:2).
The photos of these flags can
be found at:

Forza Nuova (New Force) does indeed use a lot of different versions of their
party flag. As far as I can see the NSDAP-style versions are the oldest. Newer
ones appear every two years or so. Of course, some of the older flags are still
used. The version with the "FN" on the Tricolore is quite obviously homemade;
the Tricolore seems rather longish indeed, however, I would not guess it to be
1:2.
