At the beginning of the 70s Massimo Anderson and Pietro Cerullo, brought together the main right-wing youth movements of the time, namely the Young Italy and the "Students and Workers Youth Rally", in a new political entity called "Youth Front", with Anderson as secretary and Cerullo as president.[1] The national council of the FdG took office on 6 September 1971.
As for many other organizations of the time that did not have a political line based solely on the institutional sphere, the Youth Front measured itself against the political violence that marked the so-called "Years of Lead". The violent dimension of the political clash that involved the militants of the FdG with the opposing political forces, in particular those of the extra-parliamentary Left, caused the death of many activists on the right and left, including the militants of the FdG killed in the Acca Larentia massacre.[2]
In 1996, after the transformation of the Italian Social Movement into National Alliance, the Youth Front also changed its name and became Youth Action.[3]
