Today in Labor History July 21, 1921: Hundreds of antifascist activists chased off 600 fascists in Sarzana, Italy, who were trying to free several a fascist squad from prison, after they opened fire. Led by the anti-fascist Arditi del Popolo, the people chased the fascists into the neighboring hills, killing 18 of them. Sarzana continued to be a center of partisan resistance to fascism during World War Two.
