Michele Bianchi (22 July 1882 – 3 February 1930) was an Italian revolutionary syndicalist leader who took a position in the Unione Italiana del Lavoro (UIL).^[1] He was among the founding members of the Fascist movement. He was widely seen as the dominant leader of the leftist, syndicalist wing of the National Fascist Party. He took an active role in the "interventionist left" where he "espoused an alliance between nationalism and syndicalism."^[2] He was one of the most influential politicians of the regime before his succumbing to tuberculosis in 1930.^[3] He was also one of the grand architects behind the "Great List" (il listone) which secured the parliamentary majority in favor of the fascists.
