Pino Rauti

Giuseppe Umberto Rauti (born 1926) has been a leading figure on the Italian far right for many years.

Early years

Having joined the Italian army as a seventeen year old, Rauti was captured by the British in 1945 and again by the French following his escape from custody. He returned to Italy in 1946 and joined the Italian Social Movement (MSI), becoming associated with Julius Evola and Giorgio Almirante.

Rauti became disillusioned with the MSI, particularly after the party supported the presidency bid of Giovanni Gronchi and the premiership of Giuseppe Pella, and so he split in 1956 to form his own think tank, the Ordine Nuovo, which lasted until 1969, when he returned to the MSI.
