Italian Nationalist Association

Common card · No. 326536

The Italian Nationalist Association (Italian: Associazione Nazionalista Italiana, ANI) was a political party in the Kingdom of Italy that was established in 1910. Representing Italy's nationalist political movement, its leader was Enrico Corradini, who also acted as the party's secretary. It was founded following the first congress of Italian nationalists who had identified themselves with the founder Corradini. Although Corradini hoped that the ANI would become a working-class nationalist mass party, it was mainly supported by right-wing nationalists and had significant influence on the nascent Italian fascist movement and ultimately merged with the National Fascist Party (PNF) in 1923. It was joined by artists and intellectuals such as Gabriele D'Annunzio, Giovanni Verga, and Giacomo Puccini, jurists such as Alfredo Rocco, and military men such as Costanzo Ciano.
