>Roma Capitale, Lazio, Kingdom of Italy
>September 14th, 1938
Italy was in turmoil, much of what was happening within the country did not ease the situation, Benito's policies were meant to help the country but they were in fact not. The Economy was in dire straights, there could be no more war, and no one could oppose the fascists, as all parties had been banned. However in a room within a building in Roma, there was a meeting going on.
The Head of the meeting was a young man, approximately 32, His name was Cesare Fidanza, he was a scholar who had studied politics, the economy, and minored in history, however he found in himself a need to help Italy and had stopped in his pursuit of his doctorate. He believed he knew what Italy needed, and it definitely was not Mussolini that was needed. He had gotten as many as he could gather together, and friends of his would be lecturing other groups where it was safe.
He knew Italy needed a uniting force, he knew it needed to expand its influence, but he also knew that they could never accomplish it without improving themselves, they were far behind, and he could never get his ideas into effect under Mussolini, He needed to sway the King to his cause.
And now he stood here in front of fifty people packed into a small room. "My friends, fellow Italians, Fellow Romans!" He paused for effect,"I have you here because Italy needs us, and the Facist's don't know anything about what we need, What Italians Need, What we Romans need."
He was using the term Roman quite often, even though not everyone here was from Rome, some one asked,"Why do you keep saying Romans?"
Cesare smiled,"Because We are Romans are we not? It was our past why can it not be our future? What Italy needs is to be Roman again, to be United, to be a be a force of Change, We were once powerful! We must become strong as a people again."
Another asked,"Why Romans though? We are Italianos?"
"Because my dear friend, there was a time when we were proud to be Roman, when others were Proud to be....Roman...We need to become a New Rome again, its what we need to be strong, there was a time when most of the known world called itself Roman, They were proud, We brought them Roman pride in their defeat, We uplifted others, there was pride in becoming Roman."
Alot of the faces thought about it, the romanticism of the thought was quite palpable. "But how do we do it?"
"What we do, is we get rid of Mussolini, we gather support first, and we go to our King, He will see our Pride, and we shall show hims the Glory of making this nation well again, into making this Empire have pride again, Uplift our people and become the envy of the world!" Cesare said,"But We need to start small, our home is in dire need, my fellow....Romans, We need to help our people and then the world comes next, but we cannot do so if Mussolini continues to push us down, We must gather support, times are not good, and we need to prove ourselves."
Cesare continued talking to the men, a similar message being told by others, as they came to associate this new idea with the name Cesare, However there was fear of retribution, but they kept low, and the message was carefully spread.
When enough support had been gathered, they would come to the King, When Italy was ready to Be Roma again.
