Accepted answer
The term would be used for people who were identifiable as members of the National Fascist Party or its subsidiary organisations. They tended to wear uniforms (to an extent that has no parallel in US politics) so they would be fairly easy to identify.
Reading about the party will give you an idea of the opinions they were likely to hold, and act on, but none of those would have involved giving well-behaved foreign tourists a hard time.

Simply, a member of a fascist youth organization. They possibly had some uniform or a badge that would identify them. This is like a boy-scout in the USA.
