Download or read book The bad German and the good Italian written by Filippo Focardi and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-29 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Axis War on the side of Germany, Mussolini's Italy was responsible for serious war crimes, especially in Yugoslavia and Greece. This 'dark side' of the fascist war, however, is not present in the national memory built after 1945. To distinguish Italy from the former German ally and avoid a punitive peace, the monarchist and anti-fascist ruling classes elaborated a master narrative that highlighted the opposition of the Italian people to Mussolini's war and the humanitarian behavior of Italian soldiers, depicted as saviors of Jews. All responsibility for the crimes committed in the Axis war was placed on the shoulders of the Germans, who thus became a convenient alibi for the national conscience.
Download or read book Italy s Divided Memory written by J. Foot and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-12-07 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that contemporary Italian history has been marked by a tendency towards divided memory. Events have been interpreted in contrasting ways, and the facts themselves often contested. Moreover, with so little agreement over what happened, and why it happened, it has been extremely difficult to create any consensus around memory. These divisions have been seen at all levels, but take on particular importance when linked to the great traumatic and life-changing events of the Twentieth century - war, terrorism, disaster - but can also be applied to more cultural fields such as sport and everyday life. Social change also has an impact on memory. This book will take the form of a voyage through Italy (and into Italy's past), looking at stories of divided memory over various periods in the twentieth century. These stories will be interwoven with analysis and discussion.
Download or read book The Legacy of the Italian Resistance written by Philip Cooke and published by Springer. This book was released on 2011-05-09 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book adds to this growing body of scholarship on the Italian Resistance by analysing, for the first time, how the 'three wars' are represented over the broad spectrum of Resistance culture from 1945 to the present day. Furthermore, it makes this contribution to scholarship by bridging the gap between historical and cultural analysis. Whereas historians frequently use literary texts in their writings, they are often flawed by an insufficiently nuanced understanding of what a literary text is. Likewise, literary critics who have discussed writers such as Calvino and Vittorini, or films such Paisà and La notte di San Lorenzo, only refer in passing to the historical context in which these works were produced. By fusing historical and cultural analysis, author Philip Cooke makes a unique contribution to our understanding of a key period of Italian history and culture.
Download or read book The Jewish Question in the Territories Occupied by Italians written by Autori Vari and published by Viella Libreria Editrice. This book was released on 2020-09-30T10:49:00+02:00 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with a topic at central to the Italian historiographical debate, namely the Italian authorities’ attitude in the occupied territories during the Second World War and, in particular, towards the local Jewish communities. Through a reconstruction that is the result of authors with different sensitivities and historiographic approaches, the contradictory nature of the application of anti-Jewish legislation by Italian authorities emerges; an application that went from protection to more or less rigid internment up to handing them over to German authorities. A historiographically innovative book, therefore, that aims to shed light on one of the most dramatic events of the Second World War: the persecution of the Jewish population.
Download or read book Italian Modernities written by Rosario Forlenza and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that Italy represents a privileged entry point into the comparative analysis of ideologies and experiences of modernity. The book compares how thinkers and politicians belonging to different ideological clusters - Liberalism, Communism, Fascism, Chistian Democracy - came to formulate multiple and often antagonistic visions of Italy's road to the modern. By revisiting Italian political history from the late nineteenth century until the present with a focus on transition periods, Italian Modernities explores how competing historical narratives influenced shifting understandings of Italian nationhood, thus foregrounding the active role of memory politics in the formulation of multiple modernities.
Download or read book Memory and World War II written by Francesca Cappelletto and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2005-08-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreword by Michael LambekThe death and destruction of war leave behind scars and fears that can last for generations. This book considers the connections between memory and violence in the wake of World War II.Covering the range of European experiences from East to West, Memory and World War II takes a long-term approach to the study of trauma at the local level. It challenges the notion of collective memory and calls for an understanding of memory as a fine line between the individual and society, the private and the public. International contributors from a range of disciplines seek new ways to incorporate local memory within national history and consider whether memories of extreme violence can be socially transformed. Personal testimony reveals the myriad ways in which communities react to and reconstruct the horrors of war. What we learn is that terrifying experiences reside not only in memories of the past but remain embedded in present-day lives.

Download or read book Petra rubea written by Pio Bianchini and published by Tektime. This book was released on 2023-03-28 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Medieval times were cruel and unmerciful, a savagely thriving landscape in a truly rich saga full of a dramatic turn of events that see this historic novel involve various and multiple characters, from servants, the clergy, soldiers, maids, nannies and farmers in the struggle of power over the opposition of the Ghibelline family of Montefeltro of Urbino (known today as Pietrarubbia), and the Guelph family of Malatesta of Rimini in San Leo. During the 13th century, Montefeltro and Romagna were the stage of numerous battles between the Guelphs and the Ghibellines. Set at the helm of the two factions in conflict based on self serving interests at that time for prestige and personal gain, the noble lineages of the Montefeltro and Malatesti were contended rivals. In 1285, Count Guido of Montefeltro, leader of the Ghibelline party, Lord of Urbino and Captain of the Forlì and Faenza populations, was forced to surrender to the Guelph army, and after turning his two children in as hostages to Pope Honorius IV, was incarcerated in Chioggia. During the summer of 1289, Count Corrado of Pietrarubbia, who occupied Urbino and belonged to the primogeniture of the Montefeltro family, drove the Guelphs who were in alliance with the Malatesti family out of the city and brought back the exiled Ghibellines. This historically faithful and compelling story recounts many documented events, such as the Cesena ambush where Corrado of Pietrarubbia's men carried out the attack against the life of Malatesta da Verucchio, future Lord of Rimini, as well as the treaty of alliance of Montescudo who Taddeo of Pietrarubbia later pledged with his bitter enemy. It is in this context that Pio Bianchini integrates his story around the people of Petra Rubea - the Latin name for Pietrarubbia. The ancient and crumbling castle of Mount St. Lorenzo is held up by Bonzio, the trusted vassal of the Corrado and Taddeo brothers. Alvisio and Fraudolente, dubious characters paid by Count Corrado, who ravaged during times of peace and war, committing atrocious brutalities which provoked radical change to the precarious and unstable balance between the diverse political factions… Translator: Dena Marzullo PUBLISHER: TEKTIME
Download or read book The Perfect Fascist written by Victoria De Grazia and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the story of one exemplary fascist—a war hero turned commander of Mussolini’s Black Shirts—the award-winning author of How Fascism Ruled Women reveals how the personal became political in the fascist quest for manhood and power. When Attilio Teruzzi, Mussolini’s handsome political enforcer, married a striking young American opera star, his good fortune seemed settled. The wedding was a carefully stage-managed affair, capped with a blessing by Mussolini himself. Yet only three years later, after being promoted to commander of the Black Shirts, Teruzzi renounced his wife. In fascist Italy, a Catholic country with no divorce law, he could only dissolve the marriage by filing for an annulment through the medieval procedures of the Church Court. The proceedings took an ominous turn when Mussolini joined Hitler: Lilliana Teruzzi was Jewish, and fascist Italy would soon introduce its first race laws. The Perfect Fascist pivots from the intimate story of an inconvenient marriage—brilliantly reconstructed through family letters and court records—to a riveting account of Mussolini’s rise and fall. It invites us to see in the vain, loyal, lecherous, and impetuous Attilio Teruzzi, a decorated military officer with few scruples and a penchant for parades, an exemplar of fascism’s New Man. Why did he abruptly discard the woman he had so eagerly courted? And why, when the time came to find another partner, did he choose another Jewish woman as his would-be wife? In Victoria de Grazia’s engrossing account, we see him vacillating between the will of his Duce and the dictates of his heart. De Grazia’s landmark history captures the seductive appeal of fascism and shows us how, in his moral pieties and intimate betrayals, his violence and opportunism, Teruzzi is a forefather of the illiberal politicians of today.
