Terza Posizione
Terza Posizione was an Italian movement that declared itself to be a politically syncretic movement and part of the Third Position, but in reality it has a neo-fascist and subversive nature. It was founded in Rome in 1978 by Giuseppe Dimitri, Roberto Fiore, and Gabriele Adinolfi, and remained active until 1982. The group published a journal, also called Terza Posizione which promoted Third Position politics.
Born from the ashes of the youth organization Lotta Studentesca, Terza Posizione presented itself as a national-revolutionary movement that sought a break from the political logic of the far right at the time, declaring itself equidistant both from communism and from the reactionary, capitalist, and imperialist models of the right.
The symbol adopted by Terza Posizione was inspired by the Wolfsangel rune, a German term meaning “wolf’s hook/fang”, which in the past had also been associated with the Panzer Division “Das Reich”. Originally, the symbol appears to derive from an ancient talisman used to protect against attacks by wolves or, conversely, to represent the wolf itself.
