I do believe the incidents which happened during his reporting, but...I'm confused. Benito Mussolini of Italy, was a Fascist, personally coining the term fascism in 1919 to describe his political movement. He adopted the ancient Roman fasces as his symbol. This was a bundle of rods tied around an axe, which represented the power of Rome.
Mussolini established the first fascist regime, followed soon after by others, including Nazi Germany. Fascism, however, differed somewhat from one nation to another. Thus, scholars often disagree on a precise definition of fascism. Even so, they tend to agree on its common characteristics... https://www.crf-usa.org/bill-of-rights-in-action/bria-25-4-mussolini-and-the-rise-of-fascism.html
So to be against the Fascists, one became an "anti-fascist" or "Antifa" for short.
