Explanation

The term 'fascio' in Italian literally means 'a bundle' or 'a bundle of rods' bound together around an axe, symbolizing strength through unity. This symbol was used in ancient Rome and adopted by Mussolini's fascist movement. 'Bundle of sticks' is essentially the same concept, but 'bundle of rods' is the more precise historical term.
