So did they?[edit]

Benito Mussolini ... ask[ed] the organisation to add an "F" for fascista (fascist) to its acronym.

The article makes no mention of what happened. Did they decline? Was there political fall out? Did they change their name? Where did the "F" go? (Was it FAVIS or AVFIS or something else?) When did they remove it again? -- 128.104.112.147 (talk) 23:59, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
