This essay deals with the Aventino secession of 1924 as a pivotal turning point in the institutional and political crisis of liberal Italy. Triggered by the assassination of Giacomo Matteotti, the withdrawal of the opposition deputies from the Chamber aimed not merely at moral protest but at delegitimizing Mussolini’s parliamentary majority and asserting an alternative claim to constitutional legality. While commonly portrayed as politically sterile, the Aventinian movement is reframed here as a complex, if ultimately unsuccessful, experiment in democratic resistance and party realignment. The essay also explores the strategic limitations, internal fragmentation, and failure to coordinate with liberal factions, which ultimately enabled the consolidation of fascist dictatorship.
