Description of the Flag

Student Bloc (/Blocco Studentesco/) is a neo-Fascist student movement which was founded in 2006 by the CasaPound organization [1]. Its symbol is the encircled lightning flash, which symbolizes collective action [2] and is designed so as to resemble the 1935-1940 emblem of the British Union of Fascists.

The flag black, with large symbol in white [3, 4, 5, 6]; the lightning flash is supposed to reach the opposite side of the ring, but is often shorter [6]; the ratio may vary somewhat, the one reproduced here is after a flag with the size 98 x 140 cm [7]. Since the Student Bloc is actually the student wing of CasaPound, its members frequently carry both flags together [8, 9, 10].
