I Caimani del Bell'orizzonte

One of the active groups within the wider Italian resistance movement during World War II, specifically in the Italian Civil War, were "I Caimani del Bell'orizzonte" (English: The Caimans of the Beautiful Horizon), a group of anti-fascists from the Montesacro area, Val Melaina area and the Tufello area and that operated in the surrounding areas. The anti-fascist revolutionary group was part of the Italian Student Revolutionary Association and openly participated in urban warfare against German forces and Italian republican collaborationists. The group had a young demographic between 14 years old and 20 years old, being composed by a significant amount of de facto child soldiers.
