Achille Starace ((:aˈkille staˈratʃe); August 18, 1889 — April 29, 1945) was a prominent leader of Fascist Italy before and during World War II. ==Early life and career== Starace was born in Sannicola in southern Puglia province Italy near Lecce. He was son of a wine and oil merchant. Achille Starace attended the Lecce Technical Institute as a young man and earned a degree in accounting. In 1909, he joined the Italian Royal Army (''Regio Esercito'') and by 1912 had become a Second Lieutenant (''Sottotenente'') of the élite sharpshooters (''Bersaglieri''). A dedicated bellicist he entered singlehanded in a brawl with pacifist demonstrators at the Biffi cafe in Milano in August 1914 and gained quite a reputation by this action. Seeing action during World War I, Starace was highly decorated for his service, winning a One Silver Medal of Military Valor plus four bronze. After the war, he left the army and moved to Trento, where he first came into contact with the growing Fascist movement. He also joined the freemason lodge "la vedetta (the sentinel)" in Udine in March 1917. An ardent nationalist, Starace participated to the March on Rome and joined the Fascist movement in Trento in 1920 and quickly became its political secretary. In 1921, his efforts caught the attention of Benito Mussolini, who put Starace in charge of the Fascist organization in Venezia Tridentina. In October 1921, Starace became Vice-Secretary of the National Fascist Party (''Partito Nazionale Fascista'', or PNF). In 1922, Starace participated in the March on Rome (''Marcia su Roma''), leading a squadron (''squadristi'') of Blackshirts (''Camicie Nere'', or CCNN, or ''Squadristi'') in support of Mussolini. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Achille Starace」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
