The 1922 Turin massacre refers to the attack by Italian fascists against members of a local labour movement in Turin in Italy. Over three days starting on 18 December and ending on 20 December 1922, at least 11 workers and perhaps as many as 24 were killed in a terror campaign to break the resistance to fascism by the labour movement and working class.[1]
