America in Italian Culture: The Rise of a New Model of Modernity, 1861-1943
This book examines the influence of American culture in Italy during the decades between unification in 1861 and the implosion of Mussolini’s Fascist regime in July 1943. During this period the country witnessed large-scale social and economic modernization as well as an unprecedented explosion of mass culture.

Culture and Intellectuals
The relationship between Italy's intellectuals and fascism is a most controversial issue, which has generated waves of differing views and many forms of polemic. Once the dictatorship and the war were over, Italians had to rebuild their identity and relearn the principles of freedom of speech and tolerant cohabitation of different cultures. This article tackles the central issues related to fascism and culture while trying to add a sense of chron…

Recent Work on Neorealism
Censorship and Literature in Fascist Italy
Examining the breadth and scope of censorship in Fascist Italy, from Mussolini's role as 'prime censor' to the specific experiences of female writers, this is a fascinating look at the vulnerability of culture under a dictatorship
Fascist censorship on literature and the case of Elio Vittorini
This article tackles the issue of literary censorship in Fascist Italy. The first part offers an outline of the organization and the practices with which the regime attempted to control publishers and authors.

Vittorini's American Translations: Parallels, Borrowings, and Betrayals
The discovery and promotion of American fiction by Elio Vittorini and Cesare Pavese in the 1930s and 1940s is a well-known chapter in the history of modern Italian literature. Critical studies on both authors often dwell on their ‘mitizzazione’ of North America and on the obvious influence that writers such as Hemingway, Caldwell, and Faulkner had on their narrative style. The many translations that Vittorini and Pavese did of these authors are a…

Il Menabò, Calvino and the ‘Avanguardie’: Some Observations on the Literary Debate of the Sixties
The literary venture of the periodical Il Menabò, created by Elio Vittorini and Italo Calvino, had a relatively short life span. Ten issues were published between 1959 and 1967, with the last one entirely devoted to Vittorini, whose death brought the project to a halt. A few months later, Calvino would move to Paris, almost as if to make his detachment from the Italian literary milieu geographically explicit
