Girls were first enrolled in the Piccole Italiane for girls between the age of 8 and 14; the progressed to the Giovani Italiane for girls aged 14–18; after which they became member of the Giovane Fasciste, which was a party organization for both men and women aged 18 to 21 - after this, women were finally transferred to the women's organization Fasci Femminili (FF) for women over the age of 21, which was in turn divided in to several different organizations.[1] All these organizations were technically under the command of the FF.
The girls of the Piccole Italiane wore a uniform consisting of a long black skirt, a black baretta, and a white blouse decorated with the fascist sign and a grade mark on the shoulder of the sleeve.
