  • Italian Fascism Between Ideology and Spectacle
    Fast Capitalism ISSN 1930-014X Volume 1 • Issue 2 • 2005 doi:10.32855/fcapital.200502.014 Italian Fascism between Ideology and Spectacle Federico Caprotti In April 1945, a disturbing scene was played out at a petrol station in Piazzale Loreto, in central Milan. Mussolini’s body was displayed for all to see, hanging upside down, together with those of other fascists and of Claretta Petacci, his mistress. Directly, the scene showed the triumph of the partisans, whose efforts against the Nazis had greatly accelerated the liberation of the North of Italy. The Piazzale Loreto scene was both a victory sign and a reprisal. Nazis and fascists had executed various partisans and displayed their bodies in the same place earlier in the war. Indirectly, the scene was a symbolic reversal of what had until then been branded as historical certainty. Piazzale Loreto was a public urban spectacle aimed at showing the Italian people that fascism had ended. The Duce was now displayed as a gruesome symbol of defeat in the city where fascism had first developed. More than two decades of fascism were symbolically overcome through a barbaric catharsis. The concept of spectacle has been applied to Italian fascism (Falasca-Zamponi 2000) in an attempt to conceptualize and understand the relationship between fascist ideology and its external manifestations in the public, symbolic, aesthetic, and urban spheres. This paper aims to further develop the concept of fascism as a society of spectacle by elaborating a geographical understanding of Italian fascism as a material phenomenon within modernity. Fascism is understood as an ideological construct (on which the political movement was based) which was expressed in the symbolic and aesthetic realm; its symbolism and art however are seen as having been rooted in material, historical specificity.

  • Aldo Dice 26 X 1 Cronologia Dell'insurrezione a Milano 24-30 Aprile 1945
    Aldo dice 26 x 1 cronologia dell'insurrezione a Milano 24-30 aprile 1945 in ricordo di Elio Quercioli Come noto, nei maggiori centri dell'Italia settentrionale l'insurrezione si sviluppò in date diverse comprese tra il 23 e il 26 aprile 1945. Aldo dice 26 x 1 - in realtà messaggio convenzionale dell'avvio dell'insurrezione piemontese - è usato in queste pagine in virtù della valenza simbolica derivatagli dagli scritti di Pietro Secchia. Appello insurrezionale del Comando provinciale delle brigate Garibaldi Sap (archivio ISEC) Lo svolgimento dell'insurrezione milanese - qui presentato per la prima volta - è basato sulle fonti bibliografiche esistenti e, in particolare, sulla documentazione conservata presso l'archivio dell'ISEC, Sezione II, Resistenza. Gli avvenimenti esposti non hanno tuttavia la pretesa di esaurire la ricostruzione di quanto accadde in Milano in quelle giornate. L'ISEC sarà grato a quanti vorranno segnalare nuove fonti documentali o testimoniali, contribuendo così a integrare, ampliare e approfondire la conoscenza delle vicende insurrezionali. martedi 24 aprile 1945 a Niguarda i primi fuochi dell'insurrezione 1ilano, 18 marzo 1945.

  • 1 a Comparative History of Regime Change: Transitional Justice in Post
    A Comparative History of Regime Change: Transitional Justice in Post-War Italy and Post-Saddam Iraq Robert A. Ventresca Associate Professor Department of History King’s University College University of Western Ontario Prepared for presentation at the conference: "After the Fall: Theory and Practice of Post-Intervention Security" Centre for Security and Defence Studies (CSDS) The Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, Carleton University Lord Elgin Hotel, Ottawa, 9-11 March 2006 Introduction: When U.S forces captured Saddam Hussein in December 2003, and the first images of the fallen Iraqi dictator were beamed around the world, it was difficult for the historian of the 20th century to avoid thinking of obvious and not-so-obvious analogies to the fall of authoritarian regimes in the preceding century. The same was true months later, when Saddam and the leading figures of his regime – including Ali Hassan al- Majid, the notorious ‘Chemical Ali’ – found themselves in hastily organized courtrooms answering to young and inexperienced Iraqi judges about various crimes committed during the long life of the Baathist regime. For years, pundits and politicians have been drawing comparisons between Saddam’s regime and Nazi Germany, often to the consternation or at least unease of professional historians. A cursory perusal of any major search engine combining the names ‘Hussein’ and ‘Hitler’ yields hundreds of hits; not surprising, of course, given the currency of the Hitler-Hussein analogy in public memory. Now, as the world watches – sporadically, these days – the trials of the former Iraqi leaders by an Iraqi national court – the Iraqi Special Tribunal – echoes of the great 1 war crimes trials of the postwar era, notably at Nuremberg and Tokyo, are impossible to ignore.

Milan’s history is a testimony to its central location on the Po plain’s crossroads of the world. Roman ruins and old fortresses from its period as capital of Lombardy are some of the city’s most fascinating attractions. Milan’s famous cathedral is the city’s icon and definitely one of the attractions any visitor ought to see, but there are also other churches, art museums and the modern San Siro arena, one of Europe’s true soccer cauldrons.
