Chronology of the main administrative and legislative Acts and Orders (November 1926–November 1943)

This chronological list includes notes and brief descriptions about the contents of the most important acts and orders emanated by the Italian government. It begins with the Royal Decree 1848 (November 6, 1926) that established police confinement and continues until the legal memo 53247/451 (September 10, 1943), with which the Badoglio government sanctioned the liberation of foreign enemy subjects who had been interned. To clarify the evolving dynamics that followed the declaration of the armistice on September 8, 1943, the chronology ends with two provisions issued by the Repubblica Sociale Italiana (Republican Fascism’s puppet state): the circular 451/22386 of November 1, 1943 (that rescinded the liberatory measures against internment), and the Police ordinance n. 5 of November 30, 1943 (which would allow, even in Italy, the deportation of Jews with the object of extermination to the German lager).
