Catholic humanitarianism, the unity of Christians, and war criminals: Visarion Puiu and the Roman Catholic Church, 1945-50
This article addresses historiographical ambiguities on Catholic humanitarianism, the Catholic search for the unity of Christians under the papacy, and the Vatican's secretive assistance of war criminals after 1945.

Re-Imagining the Baltic Sea Region and Scandinavia as North-Eastern Europe
L’immagine dell'Europa nord-orientale appare composita e complessa. Sebbene il suo ambito geografico sia attraversato dal Mar Baltico, non si tratta di un'area coerente a livello culturale e politico. Tuttavia, i numerosi investimenti effettuati dagli attori locali e internazionali nel tentativo di definire questo spazio richiedono un esame più attento dei processi di immaginazione e re-immaginazione degli spazi
Visual Representations as Environing Technologies: Anticipating the Øresund Fixed Link in Danish and Swedish Printed Media (1930-1999)
Questo articolo dimostra che le rappresentazioni visive sono fonti di particolare importanza per indagare la storia culturale e sociale del rapporto uomo-natura. Le rappresentazioni visive di future azioni umane sulla natura e sull’ambiente sono qui considerate come tecnologie che, dando connotazione all’azione umana, rivelano sensibilità e intenzioni delle società del passato riguardo alla tecnologia, all’ambiente e alla natura.

Transnationalizing fascist martyrs: An entangled history of the memorialization of Ion Moţa and Vasile Marin in Spain and Romania, 1937-41
This article analyses the memorialization of Ion Moţa and Vasile Marin, two Romanian Legionary movement volunteers who died while fighting for Franco in the Spanish Civil War, as an entangled history of Romanian and Spanish fascisms. The commemoration practices and narratives recounted in the Spanish and Romanian newspapers and archival sources from the period 1937-41 show that commemorating foreign ideological peers and appropriating symbolic el…
Making and contesting far right sites of memory. A case study on Romania
Among the strategies followed by far right groups for normalising their messages of intolerance in contemporary Europe, sites of memory play a pivotal role. Adopting an actor-centred and instrumentalist perspective of memory work and memory politics, the article considers sites of memory as products of the framing and staging of the past by the memory entrepreneurs, leading figures within the community of remembrance who, mastering the art of mem…

Agents of altruism: The Great Irish Famine and Italian civil society (1847)
This article analyses the participation of individuals, networks and international organizations in transnational fundraising aimed at providing humanitarian relief aid. Focusing on fundraising campaigns organized in the Italian states in favour of Ireland in 1847, when the Great Famine scourged its population the most, the article highlights the agency of the fundraisers in setting in motion an economy of altruism that transcended groups’ bounda…
Charity as Social Justice: Antonio Rosmini and the Great Irish Famine
The article sheds light on the significant fundraising and relief activities for Ireland during the Great Famine (1845–50) initiated in 1847 by the Italian philosopher and cleric Antonio Rosmini and his network in Savoy-Piedmont, Lombardy-Venetia and England. By analysing Rosmini's philosophical and political writings, the article demonstrates that Rosmini considered aid in times of crisis as an act of social justice for which individuals have to…
