CasaPound Italy (Italian: CasaPound Italia, CPI) is an Italian political movement founded in Rome on 26 December 2003 with the squatting of a state-owned building in the neighbourhood of Esquilino in Rome. In 2010, 23 families and a total of 82 people lived in CasaPound. Subsequently, the phenomenon is spreading with other squatting, demonstrations and various initiatives, becoming a political movement. In June 2008 CasaPound therefore constituted an "association of social promotion" and assumed the current name CasaPound Italy – CPI.
Previously, 2006 CasaPound was associated with Tricolour Flame but now has its own movement, CasaPound Italy, extending all over Italy with many social centers.
While CPI does not recognize the classic definitions of right and left, it is commonly placed in the view of the political groups and movements of the Italian radical right.
In 2011 it was estimated that CasaPound Italy had 5,000 members.
One feature of this movement, according to sociologist Emanuele Toscano, is to present "a different interpretation of fascism aimed at overcoming the dichotomy of right-left".
Casapound has an anti-immigrant, Fascist Ideology. The name, inspired by the poet Ezra Pound, in particular, refers to his Cantos against usury, criticisms of the economic positions of both capitalism and Marxism, and his membership of the Italian Social Republic. It also gives particular attention to the Manifesto of Verona, the Labour Charter of 1927 and social legislation of Fascism itself. The symbol is a stylized turtle with an octagonal shell. There has been collaboration with the Identitarian movement which propagates a "White, Christian Europe".
