And Bernardo Bertolucci's 1900
The “Betrayed Resistance” in Valentino Orsini’s Corbari (1970) and Bernardo Bertolucci’s 1900 (1976) Dominic Gavin The connections between Italian film and history have been the object of renewed attention in recent years. A number of studies have provided re-readings of Italian cinema, especially from the perspective of public memory. Charting the interrelations of cinema, the public use of history, and historiography, these studies include reevaluations of the cinema of the Resistance, the war film, the Holocaust and the Fascist dictatorship.1 The ongoing debates over Resistance memory in particular—the “never-ending liberation,” in the words of one historian—have provided a motive for reconsidering popular cultural productions as vehicles of collective perceptions of the past.2 If Italian film studies came relatively late to the issues of cinema and public memory, this approach has now become mainstream.3 In this essay, I am concerned with films on the Resistance during the 1970s. These belong to a wider grouping of contemporary cinematic productions that deal with the Fascist dictatorship and antifascism. These films raise a series of critical questions. How did the general film field contribute to the wider processing of historical memory, and how did it relate to political violence in Italy?4 To what extent did the work of Italian filmmakers participate in the “new discourse” of international cinema in the 1970s concerning the treatment of Nazism and the occupation,5 or to what extent were filmmakers engaged in reaffirming populist -
Actueel Nieuws Mei 2014
Jaargang 2014, nr. 4b 1 Tekst en foto’s Ruud en Ina Metselaar – www.comomeerinfo.nl Actueel Nieuws mei 2014 Al jaren geleden heb ik eens gezegd dat er altijd als ik aan het meer ben wel een artikel over Mussolini in de krant staat. Tijdens onze vakantie in April werd mijn stelling weer eens overvloedig bevestigd: 6 artikelen in twee weken tijd. De stukken tonen iedere keer weer dat het oorlogsverleden nog lang niet is verwerkt. Dit keer ging het over twee verschillende onderwerpen, die ik hier kort samenvat. Het Verzetsmuseum in Dongo In Dongo is er al tientallen jaren een klein museum over het verzet in de laatste oorlogsjaren. Het is gevestigd in een kleine ruimte in het stadhuis. De discussie over het museum begon in februari van dit jaar toen het gemeentebestuur voorstelde om de naam van het museum, tot die tijd “Museo della Resistenza”, te vervangen door “Museo della fine della guerra – La Resistenza sul Lago di Como e la cattura di Mussolini”. De toevoeging “de gevangenneming van Mussolini” schoot onmiddellijk in het verkeerde keelgat van de vereniging van oud verzetsstrijders, de Anpi (Associazione Nationale Partigiani d’Italia). Ondanks de protesten nam de gemeenteraad het voorstel voor de naamsverandering met algemene stemmen aan. Het verzetsmuseum in Dongo Dongo Op 11 april stond in de krant La Provincia di Como de aankondiging van de opening van het museum, dat na verbouwing nu zeven zalen met multimedia apparatuur heeft. De dag daarop volgde een artikel waarin het dilemma voor velen nog eens werd besproken. Enerzijds de herinnering aan de onderdrukking in de laatste oorlogsjaren en de heroïsche strijd van de partizanen in de bergen aan het Alto Lago, een strijd die aan velen het leven kostte, anderzijds de dood van Mussolini die wel een einde aan deze trieste periode betekende, maar ook door een groep neofascisten wordt aangegrepen voor huldebetogingen aan hun leider. -

Alfredo's Holy Orders
Alfredo's Holy Orders You may wonder how Latin got me into a very dangerous mission in the later stages of the Resistance, as a young partisan in 1945? It all started with my family troubles. I was born in Pavia, just south of Milan, in 1926. My parents ran a public house on the canal. Unfortunately, they didn’t get on well together, so before we were 16, my sister and I were taken from them and placed in two different industrial schools, on the order of a judge. I ended up in an institution called “Artigianelli”, where I went to school, learned skills and served as an altar boy. And that’s how I learned my Latin. When the war came, and as I turned 18, I was faced with a very tough decision: enlist in Mussolini’s fascist army, or face deportation to Nazi Germany. I chose the first option, as I wasn’t really keen on travelling — while I longed to have a gun to take with me to the nearest rebel camp. That’s how, in January 1944, I grabbed my army issue rifle, bayonet and dagger, went AWOL, and joined the 52nd Garibaldi Assault Brigade on the mountains above Lake Como. (The 52nd is the partisan brigade that captured Mussolini as he tried to escape to Switzerland. But all that happened after I’d been dispatched to a new destination.) I spent 12 months there. There was fighting, acts of bravery and fear. But above all there was cold, and hunger. Real hunger. We lived for months on end on acorn broth: That’s all we had to keep us poor anti-fascist rebels (barely) alive. -

Lessons from History: The Startling Rise to Power of Benito Mussolini EMILIO IODICE, ROME, ITALY Democracy is beautiful in theory; in practice it is a fallacy. All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state. Yes, a dictator can be loved. Provided that the masses fear him at the same time. The crowd loves strong men. The crowd is like a woman. If only we can give them faith that mountains can be moved, they will accept the illusion that mountains are moveable, and thus an illusion may become reality.

Thomas) ABSTRACT This thesis will delve into the unfolding of the Italian Resistance, from an underground association to a militant organization, which aided and facilitated the Allied advance to northern Italy. Particular emphasis will be placed on the actions and consequences of the Resistance in rural Tuscany and their affect on the local population. It will examine the changing views of Italian society, from the immediate post-war era and the decades that followed, with a brief examination of the cinematographic influences on the social views. It will include the debate over who deserves a commemorative monument and the divided and changed memory regarding the Resistance. Finally, the author will examine the current debate over the most appropriate way to memorialize the complicated and tumultuous struggle to free Italy over sixty years ago. -

Mistero Morte Mussolini. Il Lungo Cammino Verso La Verità
Maurizio Barozzi MORTE MUSSOLINI: IL LUNGO CAMMINO VERSO LA VERITÀ Testo non in commercio– Ai soli fini di studio - Roma 2018 1 MORTE MUSSOLINI: IL LUNGO CAMMINO VERSO LA VERITÀ di Maurizio Barozzi «Oltre settanta anni di bugie, mezze verità, inchieste da rotocalco e telenovele, ma passo dopo passo, qualcosa è pur venuta fuori» 1945 – 1947: NASCE LA “VULGATA” Il 30 aprile del 1945, lunedì, il foglio del partito comunista l’Unità pubblicò uno stringato racconto, “L’esecuzione di Mussolini” dove si diceva che il precedente sabato 28 aprile, un misterioso e anonimo “giustiziere” aveva fucilato Benito Mussolini e Claretta Petacci in località Giulino di Mezzegra nella Tremezzina. Era la prima “storica versione” sulla fucilazione del Duce e da quelle poche righe ci si capiva poco e niente per la scarsità delle notizie fornite dalle quali appariva che questo “giustiziere” aveva agito da solo, accompagnato da un autista, in quel di Bonzanigo e Giulino di Mezzegra (Tremezzina). Sette mesi dopo, a novembre del ’45, quel misterioso giustiziere, che ora scrisse di chiamarsi “colonnello Valerio” presentò, una lunga ed esaustiva relazione, pubblicata in 24 articoli sempre su l’Unità, avallata da un autografo di presentazione di Luigi Longo già comandante delle Brigate Garibaldi che ne garantiva la veridicità. Era la seconda “storica versione” di quella fucilazione. 2 [Per brevi note biografiche dei comandanti di questa Brigata vedere l’’Appendice] Ed infine, ancora due anni dopo, nel marzo del 1947, con altri 6 articoli sull’ Unità, questo colonnello Valerio, che ora si firmò anche con il suo nome di battesimo, Walter Audisio, fornì una terza versione di quella sua impresa.
