Veterans of the Arditi, interestingly enough, were instrumental in the streetfighting which led to the rise of Italian fascism - with other veterans of the Arditi, calling themselves the People's Arditi, opposing them with great vigor.

Unfortunately, the People's Arditi were supported by neither the Communist Party nor the Socialist Party of Italy, and thus, despite a daring assassination attempt on Mussolini, ultimately could not stop the rise of the better-supported fascists.
