=== Origins and first years of the movement ===

The first illegal occupation made using the name CasaPound, was that of the 26th December 2003 in Rome, made by a group of young people and coming from previous experience of CasaMontag on the outskirts of Rome. The building, a former government building at no. 8 in via Napoleone III, it later became the national headquarters of the CasaPound Italia movement and association.

In the two years following its first action, CasaPound multiplied the abusive occupations in Rome: the authorities responded in many cases with evictions.

In 2006, CasaPound is marked by demonstrative actions, such as the assault on the "bubble" of the television program "Grande Fratello VIP" in 2008 in Rome, together with other occupations of buildings. In 2008, in protest against the failure to organize a national congress, CasaPound occupied the Roman headquarters of the Fiamma Tricolore, and was expelled.

=== Political activities ===

Since the 2011 administrative elections, CasaPound has presented its candidates in local elections in civic or center-right lists, managing to get some of its representatives elected. From the 2013 elections, on the other hand, he decided to officially present himself with his own autonomous list both nationally and administratively.

The movement, however, had two mayors in the municipalities of Trenzano (Andrea Bianchi, elected in 2013 with the civic list "Civic Action", passed to CasaPound in 2017) until 2018 and in San Pio delle Camere (Pio Feneziani, elected in 2014 with the civic list "Stop Decline", passed to CasaPound in 2018) until 2019.

At the 2014 European Elections, CasaPound supported the election of the Northern League player Mario Borghezio in the Central Italy constituency. From this result a collaboration with the Northern League was born. The relationship was subsequently interrupted due to political differences due to the rapprochement of the Northern League leader with the center-right coalition.

On the May 2015, Andrea Bonazza was elected to the municipal council of Bolzano, the first elected councilor in Italy belonging to CasaPound. Again in Bolzano, on the 8th May 2016, CasaPound earns over 6% of preferences in the municipal elections by passing its municipal councilors from one to three. In that same period, CasaPound opened the possibility of a collaboration with the municipal council of the Democratic Party after the opening offered by the newly elected center-left first citizen Renzo Caramaschi.

On the occasion of the 2016 municipal elections in Rome, Di Stefano ran for the office of mayor. During the presentation speech of the program, he declared that in less than ten years CasaPound would come to the government.

On the 26th June 2019, President Gianluca Iannone decrees the end of the political experience of CasaPound, which returns to being a non-electoral political movement.

In February 2022, Simone Di Stefano resigns from the role of vice-president and leaves the organization.
