FernandoTambroni Armaroli (December 15, 1882 – Rome February 18, 1963) was an Italian politician of the Christian Democratic Party.
He was Prime Minister of Italy briefly in 1960, and is best remembered for the riots which resulted from the possibility that he might look to the Movimento Sociale Italiano for support against the parliamentary left.
Other popular demonstrations in Reggio Emilia, Roma, Palermo, Catania, Licata saw again violent intervention by the police, causing several deaths: eventually, after grievances coming also by some sectors of Democrazia Cristiana, Tambroni was forced to resign, having been in charge only 116 days.
This time the protest was not against globalisation, but the inclusion of a neo-fascist party, the MSI, in a coalition formed by the Christian Democrat prime minister FernandoTambroni.
It was only 15 years since the fall of Mussolini and the people of Genoa, a city steeped in anti-fascism, were not prepared to accept Tambroni and, above all, the MSI, who wanted to hold their party congress in the city the next day.
Tambroni and the neo-fascists were toppled and the MSI returned to government only in 1994 - by which time they had changed their name to Alleanza Nazionale -alongside Silvio Berlus coni's Forza Italia.
