The following analysis is focused on some particular features of Savona’s Trial in 1927, in which Ferruccio Parri and Carlo Rosselli were accused of favoring the illegal emigration of Filippo Turati. First of all, we aim to underline why the trial was an important turning point in the relationship between fascism and political dissent. Then, we will focus on the “militant” structure that Carlo Rosselli and Ferruccio Parri gave to their thesis defence. It has been a particular way to to use the trial to emphasize their political claims.
