The Movimento Sociale Fiamma Tricolore, normally just Fiamma Tricolore, is a hardline Italian neo-fascist party. Its name means "Tricolour flame" in Italian, which was the symbol of the Italian Social Movement.
It was started by the more radical members of the fascist Italian Social Movement, who supported party founder Pino Rauti in refusing to join the relatively mainstream Alleanza Nazionale. Rauti was later ousted by Luca Romagnoli, who took the leadership. The conservative coalition House of Freedoms attracted controversy when they made an electoral pact in Sicily with the party for the elections in 2001 and for the general elections of 2006.
In the 2004 European Parliamentary Election the party gained enough votes in the Southern constituency to elect Mr. Romagnoli to the European Parliament.
