Garibaldi the first fascist
Italy has been the first country in history where a National Socialist regime was established. This did not happen by chance, in fact you can trace back the origins of Fascism to the Italian Risorgimento and more precisely to the person of Garibaldi. The purpose of this book is to show the readers how all this happened and to do this we must answer the following questions. Who really was Garibaldi? Was he a hero or a bandit? What has he left to the society and culture of his country? Come and find out the truth, let’s overcome the nonsense that the myth has accumulated on the man who has contributed so incisively to the birth of Italy. Let’s discover the role that Freemasonry has played in the life of Garibaldi and how Freemasonry has contributed to his success. What relationship did Garibaldi have with the Mafia? We examine the origins of this phenomenon and see how the Mafia participated to Garibaldi’s enterprises. Come and listen to the voices of the protagonists. If we read carefully their testimonies we can see how they have sown (unknowingly) the seed of a culture and of a political movement that later became Fascism. At the end, after the death of Garibaldi, let us walk together along the road that, starting from socialism, has led Italy to realize this regime.
The Hero's Way
'Elegantly written, full of wit and charm, this is travel writing at its very best' Orlando Figes In the summer of 1849, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Italy's legendary revolutionary hero, fled Rome and led 4,000 of his men hundreds of miles through Umbria and Tuscany, then across the Apennines, Italy's mountainous spine, toward the refuge of the Venetian Republic. After thirty-two exhausting days of skirmishes and adventures, only 250 survivors reached the Adriatic coast. This hair-raising journey is brought vividly to life by bestselling author Tim Parks, who in the blazing summer of 2019, followed in Garibaldi's footsteps. A fascinating portrait of Italy past and present, The Hero's Way is a celebration of determination, creativity and desperate courage.

Focusing on both ritual and mass-visual representations of history in 1920s and 1930s Italy, The Historic Imaginary unveils how Italian Fascism sought to institutionalize a modernist culture of history. The study takes a new historicist and microhistorical approach to cultural-intellectual history, integrating theoretical tools of analysis acquired from visual-cultural studies, art history, linguistics, and reception theory in a sophisticated examination of visual modes of historical representation - from commemorations to monuments to exhibitions and mass-media - spanning the entire period of the Italian-fascist regime. Claudio Fogu argues that the fascist historic imaginary was intellectually rooted in the actualist philosophy of history elaborated by Giovanni Gentile, culturally grounded in Latin-Catholic rhetorical codes, and aimed at overcoming both Marxist and liberal conceptions of the relationship between historical agency, representation, and consciousness. The book further proposes that this modernist vision of history was a core element of fascist ideology, encapsulated by the famous Mussolinian motto that "fascism makes history rather than writing it," and that its institutionalization constituted a key point of intersection between the fascist aesthetization and sacralization of politics. The author finally claims that his study of fascist historic culture opens the way to an understanding and re-evaluation of the historical relationship between the modernist critique of historical consciousness and the rise of post-modernist forms of temporality.
