Recensione di Marcello Ravveduto, Lo spettacolo della mafia : storia di un immaginario tra finzione e realtà
2019
Letta sotto questa lente, la mafia, anzi le mafie al plurale, si affermano nel discorso pubblico come un potere oscuro, a volte invincibile, di sicuro violento e corruttore. Per conoscerle bisogna innanzitutto compiere un’azione di costruzione sociale del male, c’è bisogno di identificare il mafioso come un nemico pubblico e attribuirgli, per renderlo manifesto, tutti i difetti che non appartengono al cittadino virtuoso
Conspiracy theories in Republican Italy: the Pellegrino Report to the Parliamentary Commission on Terrorism
2015
This article analyses the draft of the final report prepared by Senator Giovanni Pellegrino, who from 1994 to 2001 chaired the ‘Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry on terrorism in Italy and on the causes of the failure to identify those responsible for the massacres’. The document was completed in 1995 and attempted a general interpretation of the causes of the political violence that had been a major feature of the history of the Italian Republic up to that point. The report was closely connected with what is often described as the moment of the transition between Italy's ‘first’ and ‘second’ Republic and, in keeping with revisionist theories current at the time, attributed responsibility …
Criminalpol Sicilia and the mafia, 1966-1981
2022
This article reconstructs events relating to the Centro di coordinamento regionale di polizia criminale (Criminalpol Sicilia) in Palermo, from its establishment in the second half of the 1960s up to the beginning of the 1980s. Created in order to unify and coordinate mafia investigations at the regional level, Criminalpol Sicilia became, over time, one of the most significant ventures in the history of the battle against the mafia. First and foremost, this was because during the 1970s it managed to operate in total synergy with the most important investigative bodies engaged in fighting the mafia, including Palermo’s Squadra Mobile (Flying Squad). Secondly, it was because it proved capable …
Identità nazionale, monarchia, impero. Costruire la Spagna nell'età del liberalismo (1782-1868)
2018
Nella storiografia sulla Spagna contemporanea i termini nazione ed impero, costruzione nazionale e imperialismo sono spesso rappresentanti come tra loro contraddittori o autoescludenti. Con i processi rivoluzionari americani del primo quarto del XIX secolo, la dimensione imperiale spagnola avrebbe ceduto il passo a quella prettamente nazionale, dove le diverse famiglie liberali, attraverso un processo rivoluzionario, prima introdussero un sistema monarchico costituzionale e poi si scontrarono per l'articolazione politica e culturale interna della nazione. Secondo tale lettura, solo durante la Restauración borbonica e con la crisi del 1898, sarebbe riemersa una "coscienza imperiale" come com…
Camorra e mafie di mezzo in alcuni recenti contributi delle scienze sociali
2018
Interacting with the lively debate on petitions and the various forms of appeal to the authorities written in different spatial and temporal contexts, the article deals with the analysis of a group of “discrimination” requests addressed to the General Directorate for Demography and Race by a sample of female Italian citizens qualified as belonging to the “Jewish race” in Autumn 1938. Women’s petitions represented a minority within the broader corpus of requests for derogation from the Anti-Semitic Fascist legislation. They are nonetheless a source of great importance, both to illuminate the relevance of the “discrimination” procedures from the persecuted point of view, and to shed fresh lig…

The pentiti of the Sicilian mafia in the 1930s
2013
Mussolini had declared that Fascism, through the anti-mafia campaign entrusted to Cesare Mori, prefect of Palermo, in the second half of the 1920s, had conclusively liberated Sicily from the mafia. However, from the early 1930s a new deterioration of public order on the island was evident, and the regime was forced to launch a second, and much less publicised, repression of this phenomenon. In the course of its careful investigations the body given responsibility for pursuing this repression, the Ispettorato Generale di Pubblica Sicurezza per la Sicilia, compiled a series of reports, including the Processo verbale di denunzia relating to the area around Palermo. With a level of detail never…
Un ponte ancora aperto? Alcune note sull’emigrazione siciliana verso gli Stati Uniti durante il fascismo
2018
During the 1920s, after the promulgation by US government of the Quota Acts, and after the new fascist policies about emigration in Italy (1926), we register a dramatic decrease of the transatlantic migration flows from Italy to the US. Focusing on the case of Sicily, one of the region which had sent more emigrants to the US during the Great Migration, this essay analyses the issue of migratory waves from Southern Italy to the US during the Fascism. In fact, despite of the reshaping of migration policies, some traditional networks between Sicily and America are still working. For example, some new researches about transnational Mafia reveal the existence of dynamic Sicilian-American network…
