    “La Spalletta”, 12 settembre 2015 DALLA MARCIA SU ROMA ALLA MVSN «Vittoria Fascista»: era questo il titolo di un articolo di fondo pubblicato il 5 novembre 1922 su “Il Corazziere” (a. XLI, n. 45): foglio che mai – occorre dirlo – aveva fatto mancare il suo sostegno al movimento fondato da Mussolini il 23 marzo 1919, prima, e poi al partito nato il 7 novembre del 1921: Il nostro giornale che ha seguito, con simpatia, con fiducia, con ammirazione fervida e sincera, il fascismo, fino dal suo sor- gere, ne celebra oggi la piena e assoluta vittoria con la più grande letizia e con la ferma sicurezza che esso saprà ottimamente ricostruire come efficacemente ha saputo compiere l’opera di santa demolizione. Alle Camice nere, al genio di Benito Mussolini – duce romanamente grande – l’Italia deve la sua salvezza e dovrà la sua rina- scita e il definitivo trionfo. I primi atti del nuovo Governo infondono un ritmo nuovo alla vita nazionale: il ritmo dei forti. Finalmente – dopo l’avvicendarsi di governi abulici, inerti, tentennanti, deboli – l’Italia – per merito di Vittorio Emanuele III – ha oggi alla sua testa un Uomo dal pugno di ferro e dalla mente superiore, un Uomo che è espressione pura e genui- na della nostra razza imperiale! Salutiamo in Benito Mussolini il continuatore dell’Italia di Vittorio Veneto; diamo a Benito Mussolini adesione piena, completa, entusiastica, incondizionata; stringiamoci concordi intorno al Fascismo trionfante: questo è il dovere di quanti hanno amore e rispetto per la Patria, affetto e devozione per il Sovrano: chi non sente questo dovere è un traditore.

I was studying abroad for the spring semester in Milan, and my six-month experience in Italy undoubtedly influenced the outcome of this thesis. In Milan, I grew to love everything about Italy – the language, the culture, the food, the people, and the history. During this time, I traveled throughout all of Italian peninsula and, without the support of my parents, this tremendous experience would not have been possible. For that, I thank them sincerely. This thesis would not have been possible without a few others whom I would like to thank. First and foremost, thank you, Professor Astarita, for all the time you put into our Honors Seminar class during the semester. I cannot imagine how hard it must have been to read all of our drafts so intently. Your effort has not gone unnoticed.

Nelle pagine che seguono ne abbiamo ricostruito con precisione la dinamica, partendo dal 24 ottobre 1922, quando, nel corso del raduno delle camicie nere a Napoli, Benito Mussolini afferma sicuro: “O ci daranno il governo o lo prenderemo calando a Roma”.

  • Florestano Di Fausto and the Politics of Mediterraneità
    *Please click on ‘Supporting Material ’ link in left column to access image files * The Light and the Line: Florestano Di Fausto and the Politics of Mediterraneità Sean Anderson Architecture was born in the Mediterranean and triumphed in Rome in the eternal monuments created from the genius of our birth: it must, therefore, remain Mediterranean and Italian. 1 On March 15, 1937 along the Via Balbia, an 1800-kilometer coastal road linking Tunisia and Egypt, Benito Mussolini and Italo Balbo, then provincial governor of Italian Libya, inaugurated the Arco di Fileni, a monumental gateway commemorating two legendary Carthaginian hero- brothers, while on their way to Tripoli to celebrate the first anniversary of the Italian colonial empire. Designed by the architect Florestano Di Fausto, the travertine arch, with its elongated archway and stacked pyramidal 31-meter high profile, was built atop a purported 500 BCE site that marked the division between the Greek territory of Cyrene and Carthaginian holdings to the east. Atop the arch, an inscription by the poet Horace, made popular by the Fascist party with a stamp issued in 1936, emphasized the gateway’s prominence in visual terms: “O quickening sun, may naught be present to thy view more than the city of Rome.”2 The distant horizon of Rome, or more broadly, that of the newfound empire, framed by the arch, condensed an architectural, political, and spectral heroism that was akin to the civilizing mission of Italian colonialism. Here, the triumphant building of the arch, the road that passed through it, and the transformation of the Libyan landscape denoted the symbolic passage of an Italian consciousness into what formerly been indeterminate terrain.

With the exception of a few pioneering studies, Italian rule and its impact on Ethiopia is given marginal importance. The present thesis confines itself to one specific key area of Italian policy - land. Search for an outlet to settle Italy’s excess population and deploy its surplus capital, had sustained Italian imperialist ambitions from the 19th century and justified the conquest of Ethiopia against quasi universal international opposition.

  • Edfinal Phd-1
    Abstract In the context of Italian colonialism, relations between the colonisers and the colonised have often been constructed and conducted through materialities (objects, things and artefacts) as means for the transmission, exchange and exercise of power. Practices of architecture, infrastructure and spoliation have then created and intensified systems of circulation connecting the metropole to the periphery. Along this axis the movement of materialities justified the colonial order within a capitalist system of production, trade, migration, communication and conquest. This dissertation interrogates the relationship between ‘materiality’ and ‘circulation’ as central categories of analysis that allow the evaluation of Italian colonialism as a historical event and the deciphering of the complexities of Italy’s post-colonial present. It offers an in-depth analysis of specific materialities that from the earlier phases of Italian colonisation in the Horn of Africa and Libya up to the post-colonial present have circulated between Italy and its colonies, tying the centre to the periphery. This thesis reveals that as a parallel to the movement of humans between the metropole and the colonies, between the Global North and the Global South, an ensemble of materialities – road infrastructure, an obelisk, anthropometric artefacts and skeletal remains - seem to be epistemologically crucial in describing power relations between the colonisers and the colonised in both the colonial and post-colonial epochs. Formerly instrumental for civilisational

  • The Persistence of Colonialism
    The Persistence of Colonialism A Century of Italo-Libyan Relationships and Their Influence on the Current European Migration Regime in the Mediterranean (1911–2017) Mathias Hatleskog Tjønn Master Thesis in Modern International and Transnational History, at the Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History, Spring 2019 university of oslo Preface The first person I owe a heartfelt thank you to, is my supervisor Patrick Bernhard. You gave me the impetus to hit the ground running and you have been a solid supporter ever since. I cannot claim to have reached anywhere near the high literary standards of either novelist, but I hope the thesis stays somewhat true to you suggestion of “more Heming- way, less Proust” in terms of its prose. I was also fortunate to have Elisabetta Cassina Wolff as my supervisor, who supplied much needed insight into Italian politics and history. At prio I could rely on Maria Gabrielsen Jumbert for further supervision. Your perspective, input and inspiration were greatly appreciated. Before deciding to enroll in the mitra program I spoke with both Johannes Due and Jørgen Jensehaugen. Thank you for the real talk and continued encouragement, gentlemen. Among the mitra faculty, particularly Daniel Maul, Klaus Nathaus and Kim Priemel deserve a tip of the hat. Of my fellow students I want to above all thank Lars Magne Tungland and Siw Ellen Lien Rysstad for our conversations. I would like to extend a warm thank you to Martin Baumeister, Sandra Heisel, Patricia Kern, Lutz Klinkhammer and Elisa Ritzmann as well as all their colleagues at the German Historical Institute in Rome, for giving me the opportunity to work with and learn from you.
