The Communist Territorial Nuclei (NCT) was a left-wing Italian terrorist group with a few dozen members based in Turin in Northern Italy. NCT sought to create a a proletarian army to control territory in Turin, presumably with the goal of imposing a communist system there, though it is unclear whether the group wanted Turin to secede from Italy. It committed a small number of attacks, mostly sabotage against Fiat factories. Like many Italian leftist terrorist groups, NCT was broken up by arrests, and its remaining members joined other armed organizations.
