Meridiano Zero was a far-right political movement, founded in 1991 .
The movement took shape on September 8, 1991, a clearly emblematic date of the Italian right, since the merger of some groups of former members of the Roman Youth Front , following the ruptures in the youth environment of Missino after the party's decision to support the American intervention against Iraq during the Gulf War and due to political tensions arising from the breakdown of internal balances in the Roman organization of the Youth Front. The constitution was born under the sign of battle: the October 4, 1991, the first group of Meridiano Zero activists became the protagonist of violent incidents involving far-left students of the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy of the University of Rome.
The promoters of the nascent political movement came mainly from the sections of the Italian Social Movement of Prenestino, of the Garbatella–EUR, of the Monteverde, of the Appio-Latino (all belonging to the coordination of Western Rome, of the historical section of the Colle Oppio) and of that of the Nomentano and Montesacro with extension also to Tivoli (near Rome), Ostia, Ladispoli and Fiumicino. Initially the movement had chosen the political section of the Prenestino as a reference, in via Muzio Attendolo (later subject to a bomb attack), but shortly after - following the numerous memberships - it was necessary to open new offices, in particular that of via Catania and then of via Castelfidardo. The latter would remain the only site open after the dissolution and would continue the activity of the Study Center until 1995, when the remaining members of the original Political Bureau decided to join Pino Rauti's Tricolour Flame.
