In the history of the European working-class the taverns became fundamental places for the combination between informal sociability and politization processes. In Italy they had the same purpose too. However, while between the second half of the eighteenth century and the first world war the political group inside the taverns was totally clear, after the rise of Fascism the taverns provided space for the clandestine group. Throughout a search in the decisions delivered by the "Fascist Special Court", the author gives some examples, useful to reconstruct the purpose that some taverns had in the activity of conspiracy of anti-fascist groups.
