N2  - 'In Spain today, In Italy tomorrow!' This message, broadcast over Radio Barcelona airwaves by the Italian antifascist Carlo Rosselli in November 1936, would become the rallying cry of the Italian involvement in the Spanish Civil War. Both an invitation and a warning, Roselli’s cry not only served as a foil for the limitations of the antifascist struggle led from the exiles’ host countries, it also stirred up the possibility of a revolutionary upheaval in Europe. The Spanish Civil War not only provided a much longed-for opportunity to turn around the ‘moribund’ antifascist movement, but also, and maybe even more importantly, it served as a necessary step towards the reworking of political options and the reconstruction of antifascist activism. This paper attempts to understand the motivation behind the support and involvement of three Italian antifascist fringe groups (the Italian Republican Party, the Azione repubblicana e socialista, and the Giustizia e Libertà movement) on the side of Republican Spain. These fringe groups acted like free electrons in the complex milieu of Italian political exile, but a close analytical study of this defining, if not crucial, moment of history allows us the opportunity to shed some light on a broader vision of the international struggle against fascism
