This poster commemorates Mikis Mantakas, a medical student from Greece and a member of the Italian Social Movement's neo-fascist youth group, the Youth Front, who was killed during street violence in Rome in 1975. Based on a childhood photograph, the image portrays Mantakas as young, innocent, and blameless, and, with the phrase "Europe in the Struggle for Freedom Will Not Forget Its Martyrs," frames him as a victim of lawless anti-fascist violence. The poster builds on Giorgio Almirante's funeral oration for Mantakas, positioning him as a symbol of neo-fascist progress and the global struggle for Western civilization. | Source: Photograph by Brian J Griffith (December 28, 2020).Download Original File
