La seduzione squadrista in un fascismo periferico. Memoria e ceto politico a Palermo
2019
During Mussolini's dictatorship, the concept of squadrismo was an essential aspect of the Fascist identity. Squadrismo was widespread in Central and Northern Italy in particular, and certain cities in the South subsequently resorted to fabricating their own squadrist myths and traditions. This essay focuses on the case of Palermo. The relationship between the fascist squads' origins and certain local leaders' life histories is underlined. More specifically, an attempt is made to show how Palermo had more "political" prefects than many other Italian provinces. As Fascism emerged later in the South than elsewhere in Italy, the local party hierarchies had not taken part in the original Fascist…

La guerra civile del fascismo
2013
Between 1919 and 1922, Italy was shaken by a high degree of social and political violence. Especially from the end of 1920, a significant part of this violence was dispensed by fascist squads. Can that period be called a civil war? What weight did that experience have in fascism's conquest of power? What memory did the fascists retain of that violence when they represented themselves as guardians of order?
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 Fascist Ruling Class. A Geography of Power between Centre and Periphery
2022
How did the fascist ruling class consolidate? From which parts of the country did the new notables of the regime come? What was their geographical, age and cultural background? The essay aims to answer these questions by analysing in particular the list of general secretaries of the National Fascist Party, the federal secretaries of the provinces and the prefects,
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…
