In particular these include my parents, Nora and Paul, my late and beloved uncle Jack, my by now numerous brothers and sisters, my friend Jim Larragy and my ‘old mate’ Andy ‘I have taken the liberty’ Pickering. I am also indebted to Paul Corner of the University of Siena and Alan Kramer of Trinity College Dublin for their detailed advice on how to prepare the manuscript for publication. Special thanks to Tom Gray and to Michael Rosen for their guidance and encouragement during the book-proposal/publisher-seeking process, and to Berg Publishers for their decision to take the project on. The maps contained herein were designed by Professor Giorgio Rochat of the University of Turin, to whom many thanks are due for the kind permission to adapt and use them from his and Mario Isnenghi’s recent volume on the Great War (Isnenghi and Rochat, 2000). Unless otherwise stated, all translations from Mussolini’s writings are mine. Finally, there are two people who tower over this book and who lend most weight to the theory according to which there is no such thing as an individual author. The first is Professor John Horne of Trinity College Dublin, who remained a firm, imperturbable, humane and profes- sional term of reference during the many years of uncertainty and despair which have accompanied this work through its various phases. The second is my wife, Giusi Dossena. This endeavour began at the same time as our life together and is virtually synonymous with it. Why, despite everything, she has chosen to believe in both me and this project is the main unresolved mystery of the project itself, and it is to her, therefore, that I dedicate this book. 02 Mussolini & WW1 14/10/04 1:25 pm Page 1 Introduction Fascism is a religious conception in which man is seen in his immanent relationship with a superior law and with an objective Will that transcends the particular individual and raises him to conscious membership in a spiritual society. Whoever has seen in the religious politics of the Fascist regime nothing but mere opportunism has not understood that Fascism, besides being a system of government, is also, and above all, a system of thought . Therefore, for the Fascist, everything is in the State, and nothing human or spiritual exists, much less has value, outside the State. In this sense Fascism is totalitarian, and the Fascist State, the synthesis and unity of all values, interprets, develops and gives strength to the whole life of the people . Outside the State there can be neither individuals nor groups (political parties, associations, syn- dicates, classes) . For Fascism, the growth of empire, that is to say the expansion of the nation, is an essential manifestation of vitality, and its opposite a sign of deca- dence . But empire demands discipline, the coordination of all forces and a deeply felt sense of duty and sacrifice: this fact explains many aspects of the practical working of the regime, the character of many forces in the State, and the necessarily severe measures which must be taken against those who would oppose the sponta- neous and inevitable movement of Italy in the twentieth century. Mussolini, Dottrina del fascismo, 1932 In 1925 Giovanni Gentile, philosopher, former Minister for Education, and fascist ideologue, argued that fascism had emerged as the expression of a search for a renewal of Italian political and spiritual life. He contrasted this project with the failure of the liberal State to realize the nation-building project of the small group of idealists who had led the struggle to unite Italy. Recalling the religious-style language of ‘sacrifice’ and national ‘mission’ of Giuseppe Mazzini’s Young Italy movement, Gentile went on to aver that this was directly comparable to the youthful ideals, romanticism and heroism of the fascist squads. These in turn were wearing black shirts reminiscent of the élitist arditi founded as special shock troop units during the Great War. The actions of these men were thus informed by refer- ence to the memory of the experience of that conflict, now mythologized as the great founding event of fascism but nonetheless rooted, via Mazzini, in the very origins of Italian unity (G. Gentile, 1975). How justified were these fascist claims to Italy’s past? In his analysis of the means by which the regime sought consensus and consolidation through a cosmos 1 02 Mussolini & WW1 14/10/04 1:25 pm Page 2 2 • Introduction of cultural representations, Pier Giorgio Zunino argues that the themes of the Great War and Mazzini were components of a discourse to which fascism itself was essentially extraneous. But Zunino also concedes that while fascism sometimes stretched the heritage of Mazzini to suit itself, many aspects of that tradition, such as the nation seen as an organic whole, were ‘anything but outlandish’ in their applicability to the regime (Zunino, 1985: 90, 99–107). Might it not also be true, therefore, that fascism’s claim to the cultural legacy of the Great War – codified in the subcategories of Intervention, Victory and the Cult of the Fallen Soldier (E. Gentile, 1993) – was not altogether unfounded? It is with this and related issues – in particular the historical question concerning the role played by the Great War in the transition from the liberal to the fascist State (Procacci, Giu., 1966; Rochat, 1976: 82–6; Vivarelli, 1981; 1995; Fava, 1982; Procacci, Gv., 1989), and the crucial problem of ‘continuity’ and ‘fracture’ between the liberal and fascist periods in general (E. Gentile, 1986: 195ff) – that the present study will engage. The approach adopted follows those which seek to reassess the significance of the First World War from the point of view of political and cultural mobilization. By this is meant both a commitment to political action and the means for trans- lating this commitment into action. Symbols and cultural representations are called upon in order to communicate the values and goals of the mobilization to those who are to be mobilized into achieving them.

A total of 155 potential roost sites were checked: natural or artificial underground sites (11%), bridges and boat basins (25%), churches (36%), cemeteries (12%) and other buildings (16%). Underground sites were visited both in summer and winter, the other sites only in summer. Mist-netting was performed in wetlands at sites located in the southern, central and northern parts of the lake area. Additional data were obtained by acoustic surveys and from the finding of dead or injured bats. We recorded at least 18 species and 79 roosts. Pipistrellus kuhlii and P. pipistrellus were the species most frequently observed roosting in buildings; Myotis daubentonii was the commonest species in bridges and boat basins. Such species were also the most frequently caught in mist-netting sessions. Three winter roosts (each used by 1-10 bats) and a nursery site used by species of major conservation concern (Habitats Directive, Annex II) were found. Annual counts of the maternity colony varied from 694 to 919 bats aged > 1 year, mainly M.

Nessuna parte di questa pubblicazione può essere utilizzata, riprodotta o diffusa con un mezzo qualsiasi senza autorizzazione della casa editrice 1919 1926 IL FASCISMO DA MOVIMENTO A REGIME INTRODUZIONE on la pubblicazione di questa “cronologia ragionata” di un periodo cruciale della storia italiana, che accompagna la Mostra: “1919 - 1926. Il fascismo da movimento a regime”, la Fondazione Anna Kuliscioff intende offrire a chiunque ne sia interessato, in particolare ai giovani, una selezione Ctemporale degli eventi più significativi che accompagnarono il nascere e l’affermarsi del fascismo con il commento di protagonisti di quel tempo e con l’opinione di alcuni dei più importanti storici. Ci è sembrato utile presentare i materiali documentari che illustrano come il fascismo, da composito movimento rivoluzionario come appare evidente dal programma del marzo del 1919 di piazza San Sepolcro a Milano nel 1919, si trasformi definitivamente al congresso dell’Augusteo a Roma nel novembre 1922, in cui viene costituito il Partito Nazionale Fascista, in una forza conservatrice, non solo antisocialista ma anche antiproletaria. L’appoggio degli agrari e di una parte degli industriali, ma soprattutto il consenso di vasti settori dei ceti medi costituì la base sociale del fascismo su cui esercitò una notevole attrazione l’ideologia stessa dello stato totalitario che il fascismo andava costruendo.

  • Amadeo Bordiga and the Myth of Antonio Gramsci
    AMADEO BORDIGA AND THE MYTH OF ANTONIO GRAMSCI John Chiaradia PREFACE A fruitful contribution to the renaissance of Marxism requires a purely historical treatment of the twenties as a period of the revolutionary working class movement which is now entirely closed. This is the only way to make its experiences and lessons properly relevant to the essentially new phase of the present. Gyorgy Lukács, 1967 Marxism has been the greatest fantasy of our century. Leszek Kolakowski When I began this commentary, both the USSR and the PCI (the Italian Communist Party) had disappeared. Basing myself on earlier archival work and supplementary readings, I set out to show that the change signified by the rise of Antonio Gramsci to leadership (1924-1926) had, contrary to nearly all extant commentary on that event, a profoundly negative impact on Italian Communism. As a result and in time, the very essence of the party was drained, and it was derailed from its original intent, namely, that of class revolution. As a consequence of these changes, the party would play an altogether different role from the one it had been intended for. By way of evidence, my intention was to establish two points and draw the connecting straight line. They were: one, developments in the Soviet party; two, the tandem echo in the Italian party led by Gramsci, with the connecting line being the ideology and practices associated at the time with Stalin, which I label Center communism. Hence, from the time of Gramsci’s return from the USSR in 1924, there had been a parental relationship between the two parties.

University of Sydney 2016 KEON ESKY Fig. 1 Raffaello Sanzio, ‘La Disputa’ (detail) 1510-11, Fresco - Stanza della Segnatura, Palazzi Pontifici, Vatican. KEON ESKY ii I dedicate this thesis to my late father who would have wanted me to embark on such a journey, and to my partner who with patience and love has never stopped believing that I could do it. KEON ESKY iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis owes a debt of gratitude to many people in many different countries, and indeed continents. They have all contributed in various measures to the completion of this endeavour. However, this study is deeply indebted first and foremost to my supervisor Dr. Francesco Borghesi. Without his assistance throughout these many years, this thesis would not have been possible. For his support, patience, motivation, and vast knowledge I shall be forever thankful. He truly was my Virgil. Besides my supervisor, I would like to thank the whole Department of Italian Studies at the University of Sydney, who have patiently worked with me and assisted me when I needed it. My sincere thanks go to Dr. Rubino and the rest of the committees that in the years have formed the panel for the Annual Reviews for their insightful comments and encouragement, but equally for their firm questioning, which helped me widening the scope of my research and accept other perspectives.
