Autori tedeschi ed editoria italiana dopo le leggi razziali
2020
Sulla scorta di esempi tratti dalla storia editoriale italiana degli ultimi anni del Fascismo, il saggio propone una panoramica delle strategie adottate da alcuni editori per fronteggiare l’ingerenza del potere politico nel mondo culturale. Con riferimento alle traduzioni di letteratura tedesca, e in particolare alle opere di autori sgraditi al regime nazionalsocialista, l’articolo mette in luce posizioni e atteggiamenti diversi, rivelando condotte che tratteggiano un panorama piuttosto variegato. Accanto agli editori che si allinearono, adeguandosi prontamente alle direttive del regime e pubblicando opere ideologicamente vicine al Terzo Reich, ve ne furono altri che non si sottomisero inco…
Vittorio Emanuele Orlando. Il giurista, l’avvocato, lo statista
2018
Vittorio Emanuele Orlando is one of the defining figures of the history of Italy. Lawyer, jurist and statesman, he founded the Italian School of Public Law and worked out an original version of the “Rechtsstaat”. He led Italy to victory during the First World War, took then an official stance against the Fascism and played a significant role in the republican constituent process. The article suggests a coherent interpretation of the several aspects of his personality and provides an extensive bibliography
Storie di guerra. Sfollati, rimpatriati, profughi a Palermo (1940-1943)
2018
In the realm of wartime history, a little real analysis has been done on the implications of total war in Sicily. Indeed, World War II transformed the relationship between fascist regime and society. Moreover, there are few studies on reorganization of the connections between local institutions and fascist government. Civilians have been most involved in this process. In this article, I will mainly adopt the perspective of civilians to reconstruct how war led to these transformations. I will focus on the city of Palermo, were war front and home front blurred together in 1943. Especially, I would like to highlight the stories of returned from fascist colonies in Africa, as well as the issue …
LA ‘RESISTENZA’ DELLA SINISTRA POPOLARE DINANZI AL FASCISMO: IL DIALOGO CON I SOCIALISTI NELLE PAGINE DEL «DOMANI D’ITALIA» (1922-1924)
2022
On December 24 1922, in the midst of the tensions of the post- war crisis and the reactionary offensive, and just two months after the “March on Rome”, the left-wing of the Italian Popular Party published in Milan the weekly «Il Domani d’Italia» (December 1922-July 1924) taking the title of the Chris- tian Democrat weekly (1901-1903) edited by Romolo Murri. The deep religious, democratic and moral crisis pushed the editors – among others Francesco Luigi Ferrari, Gerolamo and Luigi Meda, Cesare and Luigi Degli Occhi – to a political commitment to the struggle and the related social culture. The condemnation of fascist authoritarianism, the need for an internal clarification of the PPI agains…
The shifting evocations of squadrismo: remembering the massacre of Palazzo d'Accursio in Fascist Bologna
2016
The massacre of Palazzo d’Accursio is considered one of the first events in the rise of the Fascist squads. This article analyzes the ways in which the event was described in Bologna during the twenty years that followed it. It is believed that in the first few years, commemorations that emphasized the role of the Fascist squads were not very common. Instead, they concentrated on the life of Giulio Giordani, a murdered lawyer and opposition councilor, who became a martyr. Members of the city’s ruling class, especially lawyers, developed their own rituals of commemoration, but the establishment of the regime led to the acquisition of the commemorations of Giordani by Fascism, reflecting the …
Orio Vergani, La "notizia fresca" e la "sensazione vissuta"
2018
Firma assidua del “Corriere della Sera”, sin dal 1926, Orio Vergani si rivela pioniere versatile e appassionato di un giornalismo vocato ad interrogare le molteplici espressioni della realtà traducendole, con la vigoria della sua penna, in occasioni conoscitive, ritratti antropologici, affreschi societari.Un’ “alluvionale mole” di scritti consente di ritrarre la fisionomia pubblica e privata di questo “lettore quotidiano della vita”. A partire dai nodi ricorrenti, dalle costanti inquiete dei racconti si disegna, in questo studio, un percorso intellettuale ed interiore che trova nel diario steso dallo scrittore tra il 1950 e il 1959 una sintesi ‘illuminante’ in cui il privato del ricordo int…
Tra «pentoloni per il solfato ammonico» e «un numero inverosimile di tubi»: le lettere di Carlo Emilio Gadda all’Ammonia Casale
2022
The essay analyzes the correspondence between Carlo Emilio Gadda and the "Ammonia Casale S.A." which intermittently covers a period from April 1927 to January 1940, with a long break between the autumn of 1931 and the spring of 1936. It is a decisive period of time on the public and private level. Reading the correspondence allows you to retrace an entire page of the history of Italian industry under fascism from an eccentric perspective.
La représentation de l’identité sicilienne dans les bâtiments publics du Ventennio fasciste
The intervention, included in the panel of the Conference dedicated to the monumental forms of political and cultural identities, proposed the analysis of some artistic decorations of monumental public building made in Sicily during the fascist regime, such as the pictorial cycle of the Palace of the Prefecture of Ragusa, the bas-reliefs of the Casa del Fascio in Messina and the mosaic of the Maritime Station of the same city. The institutional representation of the collective – the Conference’s main subject of interest – was considered in the light of traditional themes of fascist ideology, such as Labour, and by episodes related to the local context, such as Mussolini’s visits or mythiciz…
Ritradurre dopo il 1945. Alberto Mondadori e le traduzioni integrali
2023
The article traces the evolution of the publishing practice in the field of translations undertaken by Alberto Mondadori after the Second World War. Through some letters of the publisher to his collaborators, the analysis highlights the nature of his choices, which were often motivated not only by the desire to publish complete works, but also by personal and political reasons, such as the desire of self‑affirmation, to introduce himself as a “new publisher in a new era”, in clear antithesis with the past.
