The Gioventù Italiana del Littorio (GIL) was formed in 1937 through recruitment done by MVSN members. The youth, through sports and pre-military drilling that were taught through elementary and middle schools, was used to perpetuate the ideology of the MVSN. According to Mussolini, the birth of Rome (represented by Romulus and Remus) marked the new Labor Day in fascist Italy and replaced the Socialists "May Day." Through this symbolic re-connection with Rome, fascism stressed the need to reach the glories or Rome and to bring back the grandeur of the past.
The Gioventù Italiana del Littorio (GIL) (English: Italian Youth of the Lictor) was the consolidated youth movement of the National Fascist Party of Italy that was established in 1937, to replace the Opera NSDAPonale Balilla (ONB). It was created to supervise and influence the minds of all youths, that was effectively directed against the influence of the Catholic Church on youths.
