The present paper analyses the way Benito Mussolini’s racist policy were interpreted by Giorgio Pisano, a neo-fascist journalist and columnist. According to Pisano, the fascist regime should not be considered racist. Moreover, leggi razziali of 1938 were much milder than the Nuremberg race laws. The neo-fascist journalist tried to argue that Italian fascism did not follow the policy of extermination of Jews and, consequently should not be blamed for the Holocaust. Finally, Pisanò’s rhetoric of national betrayal as applied to anti-fascist resistance movement — whose activity led to the outbreak of the 1943 civil war in Italy — should be considered yet another case for Mussolini’s racist policy affirmation.
