  • Birth and Death of the Housewife
    Introduction — 1 Introduction “Defeatist and cynical” were the words Fascist censors used to defi ne Paola Masino’s boldest and most controversial novel, Birth and Death of the Housewife (Nascita e morte della massaia), fi rst published in installments between 1941 and 1942, and then as a single volume by Bompiani in 1945. Indeed, such indignant reaction comes as no surprise, given that the book attacks those very same institutions—marriage and motherhood—that Fascism sought to idealize and promote for the sake of the homeland. Already at the outset of the novel, the nameless female protagonist strikes the reader as being quite the opposite of a submissive homemaker concerned exclusively with the well-being of her household and family. Emerging, like a character out of Samuel Beckett’s plays, from a trunk “that served as her wardrobe, bed, dresser, table, and bedroom, a trunk full of blanket rags, bits of bread, books, and funeral remains” (BDH 17), she displays—already at a very young age—a stubbornly desperate need to feed her mind and unleash her imagination, even at the expense of a body that carries “deadlines, rules, and the need to take precautions” (BDH 90). When she agrees, for her mother’s sake, to step out of the trunk and comply with the role society has assigned to her, she gives up her potential as a human being, turns off her intellect, and prepares for a lifelong performance as a female marionette. Her marriage to an ordinary, socially “proper” older man (whose pompous speeches on the function of women as the guardian angels of the hearth echo those of the regime) marks her further metamorphosis into a Housewife, forever tied to the four walls of an abode that neither shelters nor represents her, but that still lays claim to all of her energy, stifl ing her creativity.

  • A British Reflection: the Relationship Between Dante's Comedy and The
    A British Reflection: the Relationship between Dante’s Comedy and the Italian Fascist Movement and Regime during the 1920s and 1930s with references to the Risorgimento. Keon Esky A thesis submitted in fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. 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.

  • Il Selvaggio 1926–1942: Architectural Polemics and Invective Imagery
    $UFKLWHFWXUDO Rosso, M 2016 Il Selvaggio 1926–1942: Architectural Polemics and Invective Imagery. +LVWRULHV Architectural Histories, 4(1): 4, pp. 1–42, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/ah.203 RESEARCH ARTICLE Il Selvaggio 1926–1942: Architectural Polemics and Invective Imagery Michela Rosso* Within the framework of a special collection dedicated to the study of image-word relations in the press and their impact upon the dissemination of architecture within the public realm, the story of Il Selvaggio, the magazine published from July 13, 1924, until five weeks before the fall of Mussolini in 1943, assumes a significant relevance. Since its inception, and increasingly from 1926, Il Selvaggio hosts, alongside articles and polemic essays, a varied range of graphic materials in different genres and forms of artistic expression. This heterogeneous visual catalogue, an expression of the versatile and eclectic culture of its founder, the artist, writer and illustrator Mino Maccari, includes an equally varied ensemble of literary registers ranging from rhymes and aphorisms to brief polemic writings, ironic manipulation of proverbs, word plays and puns. The interest of a study about the representations of architecture within Il Selvaggio lies in the non- specialist nature of a periodical whose cultural stances were predominantly elaborated outside the profes- sional circles of the architectural work and its well-known authors. This article examines the rhetorical strategies and linguistic devices of the magazine, where caricatures and landscape scenes, still lives and urban views, photographs and mottoes, are intertwined in a set of varying relationships. It also elucidates the historical context in which the contemporary architectural debate unfolds and which constitutes the constant reference for Maccari and his collaborators, providing the source materials for the journal’s polemics.

    SERGIO SOLMI TRA LETTERATURA E BANCA UNA VITA FRA LETTERATURA E BANCA La vicenda biografica di Sergio Solmi appartiene al novero - invero assai esi - guo - di quelle esistenze che sono contraddistinte da una marcata vocazio - ne e da un indiscutibile, caparbio talento individuale, preservato e anzi svi - luppato attraverso le asperità della vita. Come per tutti coloro che si sono sforzati di congiungere l’attività pratica con quella intellettuale, occorre un particolare sforzo di comprensione per riportare ad unità la personalità com - pleta del biografato, senza cadere negli stereotipi delle facili categorizzazio - ni. È necessario, in concreto, ripercorrere i moventi delle scelte di vita, le calde amicizie, gli scritti così vari eppure intimamente interconnessi, e affi - darsi anche alle testimonianze scaturite dai collaboratori su entrambi i ver - santi. Quando si spengono i riflettori della cronaca, il tempo è galantuomo nei confronti di queste personalità vissute fuori dagli schemi. Solmi era ricordato con ammirazione, simpatia e unanime rimpianto nella tradizione orale del Servizio Legale della Banca Commerciale Italiana, tanto da indurre l’Archivio storico a promuovere tempestivamente la salvaguar - dia e l’inventariazione ragionata di ingenti masse di pratiche giacenti in vari depositi, per far emergere la sua impronta negli aspetti sia ordinari che eccezionali del lavoro di banca, come è ricostruito in questa Monografia e più ampiamente ricercabile nella banca dati dell’Archivio storico di Intesa Sanpaolo. Ma contemporaneamente, con il progredire dell’ Opera omnia edita da Adelphi a partire dal 1983, si andava configurando in modo chiaro la sua statura di grande letterato e ascoltato recensore e saggista, punto di rife - rimento importante nei processi stessi di produzione culturale (dalla poe - sia alla prosa filosofico-morale, con apertura al genere fantascientifico, alla critica letteraria e artistica, alle traduzioni).
