Sull'uso pubblico della storia in Gran Bretagna
June 2016 marked the end of the British membership of the European Union. Rather than focusing on popular explanations for this «exit», such as immigration, economy, globalization and sovereignty, this article focuses on the role played by history in informing public and political debates. In particular, it shows how pre- existing patriotic myths were popularized, notably that of the empire and the belief that Britain had followed a unique histor…
A discussion on Nel cantiere della memoria. Fascismo , Resistenza , Shoah , Foibe , by Filippo Focardi, Rome, Viella, 2020. With Valeria Galimi, Philip Cooke and Filippo Focardi
The centenary of the March on Rome has prompted Modern Italy's Contexts and Debates section to focus on the public uses of history in reference to interwar Fascism. We are looking into the ‘Past, Present, and Future of the Italian Memory of Fascism’, to borrow the title of Guido Bartolini's interviews that were published in our issue 27 (4), 2022. While commemorations and anniversaries shouldn't inherently influence academic research agendas, a b…

Professor Finchelstein is the author of many books that have been translated into several languages, including the successful From Fascism to Populism in History (University of California Press, 2017). His new monograph, Fascist Mythologies. The History and Politics of Un…
Transnational Neofascism in France and Italy
This book describes the establishment, evolution, and international links of the extreme right in one of the main Western European areas. Andrea Mammone details the long journey in the development of right-wing extremism in France and Italy, emphasizing the transfer, exchange, and borrowing of ideals, personnel, and strategies and the similarities among neofascist movements, activists, and thinkers across national boundaries from 1945 to the pres…
The Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Italy
This chapter first outlines the institutional framework and the functioning of the Italian political system until the early 1990s; then, second, documents the rise of institutional reform from the early 1980s and especially its trajectory since the early 1990s, highlighting the long-term failure of the political parties to achieve comprehensive reform; and third, analyses the Italian political \nsystem today and how, despite the absence of root-a…
Varieties of Right-Wing Extremism in Europe
peer reviewed
Revitalizing and de-territorializing fascism in the 1950s
In this article Mammone explores a still relatively neglected story in the history of post-war neo-fascism, notably the attempts by some French and Italian right-wing extremists to revitalize fascist ideology after the war by means of two interconnected strategies, namely, radicalization (rejection of the democratic system) and ‘de-territorialization’ (in the sense of converting narrow fascist nationalism into pan-European nationalism). Mammone d…
Italy Today
Italy today represents one of the most comprehensive examinations of contemporary Italy. It is a provocative and an innovative collection that aims to highlight the current ‘crisis’ of the country through an analysis of several different ‘dark shadows’ of contemporary Italian society. Italy already had a long history of ‘unsolved’ issues, several chronic problems and contradictions that have been ignored for a very long time, during which they ha…
The Eternal Return? Faux Populism and Contemporarization of Neo-Fascism across Britain, France and Italy
This article raises some doubts as to whether the contemporary extreme right in France, Italy and the UK should be perceived as something particularly novel, and instead the image of a Janus-faced party family and a contemporarized neo-fascism is proposed as a more realistic conceptual model. This article challenges the assumption of the existence of a specific national-populist party family in France as well as the idea that populism should be p…
Introduction
The article discusses various reports published within the issue, including one by Mammone on extreme-right parties, one by Ernesto Gallo on social and political evolution in Italy and Spain, and one by Michael Baun and colleagues on the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) on the Czech Republic

Italy in Chiaroscuro
Italy's incapacity of dealing with an increasing decline should be attributed to a number of chronic problems, not only economic ones, which have never been seriously faced by Italian society and politics. Despite the frequent presence of these issues in public discourse, a lack of analytical commitment has favoured a superficial and rhetorical engagement. A common theme of incompleteness in the attempts at applying a solution unifies different p…
The Transnational Reaction to 1968
A transnational analysis of neo-fascism in France and Italy can elucidate historical processes that are usually only analysed within a specific national context or deemed to be by-products of individual nation-states. This article highlights the crucial importance of 1968 in the development of neo-fascist electoral and political strategies in both countries, as well as in the rise of extremist cultural activism. It reveals similar reactions to th…
The black-shirt resistance
The articles deals with the reaction of some fascists to the fall of fascism in Italy after July 1943, specifically with clandestine fascism. This represents a fascinating study because it allows us to comprehend the real psychological profile of post‐war Italian neo‐fascists and their vision of the world, as well as the subsequent political development of neo‐fascism. It also represented the first ‘training camp’ for the black‐shirt terrorism of…
A Daily Revision of the Past
Recent cultural and political debate in contemporary Italy, which has often been focused on Fascism and the Resistance, has seen an attempt to reconsider the importance of the constitutive moment of the Republic, namely the Liberazione from Nazism–Fascism, and to equate the memories of Fascism and anti-Fascism. The direct consequence of these confused revisionist approaches is either to rehabilitate many aspects of the Duce's regime , or on the c…
