I thank my supervisor Luisa Santos for her support throughout the year. I am also thankful to Fondazione’s Head of Research, Francesco Grandi, for his serendipitous teachings. 3 List of Figures Figure 1: Salvini supporter kissing his hand (2018), Enzo Lacopo, Lentelocale, __ 22 Figure 2: Where do Italian parties stand?

The question “what is the role of cultural institutions given Italy’s emerging populism?” framed the research period. This paper’s aim is to address the numerous approaches employed by cultural institutions in the current political Italian landscape, shaped by populism. Populism is described as the people wills’ impersonation (Müller, 2016; Mudde & Kaltwasser, 2017; Urbinati et al., 2018; Moffit, 2016). Specifically, the “populist moment” is characterized by an ideology with an antagonistic nature: the “corrupt elite” against the “pure people” (Mouffe, 2018; Mudde & Kaltwasser, 2017). The once dominant neoliberal model has been fervently challenged since 2008’s financial crisis; global populist movements indistinctly question capitalism’s contradictions. Neoliberalism’s failure is located within the “crises of knowledge”, where all traditional knowledge producers are experiecing a loss of authority (Grossber, 2017). Italy’s Lega-Five Star populist coalition exemplifies this frame, given the anti-science and anti-immigration sentiments it propagates. Intellectuals’ are in privileged positions of opportunity, which yield responsibility (Chomsky, 1967). Cultural institutions’ promise is to provide an epistemological “culture of enquiry” to all citizens (Carr, 2003). The methodology adopted in this report, besides the hands-on experience of the internship, is primarily lecture and library-based, hence includes secondary sources. After the “state-of-the-art” overview, Fondazione Feltrinelli’s scope is considered together with its predominant dialogue capabilities, analysis and countering of populism, through educational and historical approaches. Finally, this report includes a comparative analysis between Feltrinelli and Fondazione Basso, Istituto Sturzo and Istituto Dignitatis Humanae’s functioning. With the exception of the latter, whose peculiarity is Bannon’s endorsement, this research concludes that Italy’s cultural institutions typically act counter-hegemonically to populism and strive for change through reflection. Key Words: Populism; Crises of Knowledge; Responsibility; Educational Role and Fondazione Feltrinelli. 6 Table of contents Acknowledgments ............................................................................................................................ 3 List of Figures ..................................................................................................................................... 4 List of Acronyms ............................................................................................................................... 5 Abstract ................................................................................................................................................ 6 Table of contents .............................................................................................................................. 7 Chapter 1: Introduction ..................................................................................................... 8 PART 1: Conceptual Framework ................................................................................ 11 Chapter 2: Populism, crises of knowledge and the role of cultural institutions ................................................................................................................................................ 11 2.1 – Populism: A Global Phenomenon ...................................................................................12 2.2 - Crises of Knowledge .............................................................................................................18 2.3 - Italy’s Emerging Populism and Crises of Knowledge ...............................................22 2.4 – The Role of Intellectuals ....................................................................................................34 2.5 – The Role of Cultural Institutions ....................................................................................37 PART 2: Critical analysis of case study - Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli ................................................................................................................................................ 44 Chapter 3: Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli ..................................................... 44 3.1 - Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli and its self-proclaimed role ......................45 3.2 – Fondazione Feltrinelli’s educational role (or political blindness)? ..................53 3.3 –Fondazione Feltrinelli’s increased political responsibility given the Government of Change .................................................................................................................61 3.4 – Democracy’s decline is the disease, populism a mere symptom ........................77 Chapter 4: Italy’s landscape of cultural institutions ............................................. 86 4.1: Fondazione Lelio e Lisli Basso’s human rights maxim .............................................86 4.2: Istituto Luigi Sturzo: compare as a means to contrast .............................................98 4.3: Istituto Dignitatis Humanae’s populist crusade ...................................................... 104 Chapter 5: Conclusion ................................................................................................... 109 Bibliography .................................................................................................................................. 112 7 Chapter 1: Introduction A personal concern for Italy’s political climate and a fruitful work experience motivated this internship report, which hopes to function as a testament to liberal intellectuals while investigating: what is the role of cultural institutions given Italy’s emerging populism?

  • Photo De Che Guevara « Guerrillero Heróico » Alberto Korda (Sources : Wikipedia )
    Photo de Che Guevara « guerrillero heróico » Alberto Korda (Sources : Wikipedia ) Guerrillero Heroico est un portrait photographique de Ernesto Che Guevara réalisé par Alberto Korda le 05/05/1960 , alors qu il assistait à l ' enterrement des victimes de l ' explosion de la Coubre ( Le cargo français La Coubre explosa par deux fois le 4 mars 1960, alors qu'il déchargeait des munitions belges dans le port de La Havane à Cuba. L'explosion fit au moins 75 morts et 200 blessés. Le gouvernement cubain accusa la CIA et condamna à mort William Alexander Morgan alors que les États-Unis penchaient pour la thèse d'un accident. ) C est une des photos les plus célèbres au monde . Alberto Korda donna cette photographie à l'éditeur italien Gianfranco Feltrinelli qui lui fit faire le tour du monde avec des centaines de posters et des couvertures de carnets après la mort du Che en 1967. L'année suivante, Andy Warhol en fait un tableau qui devient une icône artistique et commerciale. Korda, révolutionnaire convaincu, ne toucha pas un centime et ne réclama jamais aucun droit d'auteur jusqu'en 1990, quand la société Smirnoff a repris l'image de Guevara pour vendre de la vodka1. Korda était photographe pour le journal cubain Revolución le 6 mars 1960 quand il prit le fameux cliché . Korda raconta ainsi l'instant historique : « Je me trouvais à quelque dix-huit mètres de la tribune où Fidel prononçait un discours et je tenais à la main un appareil muni d'un court téléobjectif, lorsque je vis le Che s'approcher de la balustrade près de laquelle se tenaient Jean-Paul Sartre et Simone de Beauvoir.

The Power of Images in the Age of Mussolini Abstract The year 1937 marked the bimillenary of the birth of Augustus. With characteristic pomp and vigor, Benito Mussolini undertook numerous initiatives keyed to the occasion, including the opening of the Mostra Augustea della Romanità , the restoration of the Ara Pacis , and the reconstruction of Piazza Augusto Imperatore. New excavation campaigns were inaugurated at Augustan sites throughout the peninsula, while the state issued a series of commemorative stamps and medallions focused on ancient Rome. In the same year, Mussolini inaugurated an impressive square named Forum Imperii, situated within the Foro Mussolini - known today as the Foro Italico, in celebration of the first anniversary of his Ethiopian conquest. The Forum Imperii's decorative program included large-scale black and white figural mosaics flanked by rows of marble blocks; each of these featured inscriptions boasting about key events in the regime's history. This work examines the iconography of the Forum Imperii's mosaic decorative program and situates these visual statements into a broader discourse that encompasses the panorama of images that circulated in abundance throughout Italy and its colonies.

  • Le Edizioni Letterarie Feltrinelli (1955-1965)
    FdL Lavori in corso Le edizioni letterarie Feltrinelli (1955-1965) in dalla sua nascita, a Milano nel luglio 1955, la Giangiacomo Feltrinelli Editore si impegna sia sul versante della saggistica che su quello lettera- Frio, seguendo il principio del forte legame che secondo Feltrinelli doveva- no avere questi due rami: da una parte la ricerca, politicamente impegnata e caratterizzata sui temi dell’antifascismo e del terzomondismo, dall’altra la lette- ratura, che Feltrinelli giudicava veramente importante, tanto da dichiarare nel 1965, dieci anni dopo la fondazione della casa editrice, che in futuro «il grado di civiltà del nostro Paese, dipenderà anche, e in larga misura, da cosa, anche nel campo della letteratura di consumo, gli italiani avranno letto»1. La casa editrice dedicava molta attenzione anche agli aspetti formali del li- bro e alle modalità di commercializzazione, proponendo al pubblico i propri vo- lumi in una veste tipografica essenziale ma non austera, cercando di mantenere basso il prezzo di vendita, e soprattutto dando vita a una propria catena di li- brerie. Giangiacomo Feltrinelli opera infatti fin da subito con un chiaro proget- to, quello di arrivare a disporre del ciclo completo produzione-distribuzione, a suo avviso indispensabile per il successo dell’impresa. Basti pensare che la casa editrice nasce poggiandosi su due strutture preesistenti, create dallo stes- so Feltrinelli: la prima è la Biblioteca2 che porta il suo nome e che raccoglie la memoria del movimento operaio internazionale, la seconda è la collana dell’“Universale Economica del Canguro”, prima collezione del dopoguerra di libri tascabili economici in Italia, che Feltrinelli rileva interamente dalla Coo- perativa del Libro Popolare (Colip) nel 19543.

  • Il Caso Italiano and Globalization
    Il Caso Italiano and Globalization Suzanne Berger and Richard M. Locke MIT-IPC-00-015 The views expressed herein are the authors’ responsibility and do not necessarily reflect those of the MIT Industrial Performance Center or the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 2 Introduction Twenty-seven years ago, under the generous and energetic tutelage of Fabio Luca Cavazza, a group of foreign scholars came to Italy as first-time students of the “Italian case.” We shared our puzzlement over this complex country with a group of more seasoned and distinguished Italians. In the essays we wrote together for the 1974 Il Caso Italiano, we tried to analyze a society where economic dynamism co-existed with stalemated and polarized politics. 1 Here was a country with a rate of economic growth second to none in Europe throughout the postwar years. 2 But at the same time there was a political system heavy with bureaucracy, tangled in clientelism , and despite rising radicalism and protest, apparently unable to reform itself . These politics entailed, as Cavazza put it—more bitterly than an outsider might have dared--- “un inesausta appropriazione di sempre piu estese quote della ricchezza che il paese produce.”3 At the level of central government, we found stagnation and the exploitation of public office and public space for partisan ends. At the local and regional levels, we saw a society riven by the dense and mutually exclusive subcultures of the Catholic Church and the Communist Party. The political stability of the country seemed to depend on preserving social and economic traditionalism: on a reservoir of electors that the backward South provided for the parties of government and on the survival of a vast preponderance in the economy of small and medium sized enterprises, which buffered the risks and shocks of rapid growth by capacity subcontracting and by absorbing workers who did not find regular employment.
