There was shock and outrage in Italy on Tuesday days after hundreds of people gave a fascist salute at a rally in #Rome , sparking widespread condemnation and calls for the country’s far-right leader to take action.

A video circulating online shows hundreds of people making the banned salute at an event Sunday commemorating the killing of three neo-fascist youths in the Italian capital in 1978.
The Acca Larentia killings, as they’re known, are marked annually.

The people in the video stand in at least a dozen rows and, when prompted by a voice shouting outside the frame, raise their right arms in a salute that dates to the regime of Benito Mussolini, Italy’s fascist dictator.

They appear to shout “present” three times in unison in response to someone yelling: “For all fallen comrades,” a typical rallying cry at neo-fascist events, according to a Reuters translation.

Under Italy’s post-World War II legislation, use of fascist symbolism, including the straight-armed salute, is banned.

The rally was held in front of the former headquarters of a post-war neo-fascist party called the Italian Social Movement (MSI), which gave root to the Brothers of Italy party now led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
