The Italian state’s discovery of the mafia
The new Italian state first encountered criminal entities in the mafia mould in circumstances characterised by bitter political struggle between the government, its democratic opposition and pro-Bourbon forces. The charge of being ‘ mafiosi ’ was therefore often used as a weapon. However, the mafia was not an invention of the Right. By examining the attempts to counter a phenomenon that seemed uncontrollable and impervious to the new order, and a…

Experts in truth?’: The politics of retribution in Italy and the role of historians
There have been many reflections on the relations between the judge and the historian which have concentrated on the differences between these two figures: but what happens in cases where an historian collaborates openly with a judge as an expert consultant? What happens when an investigative office, or a court, asks an historian to reconstruct an event which is subject to a judicial procedure, or when he or she has to pronounce the ‘last word’ o…
The German Military Occupation of Italy and the War against Civilians
The article presents the results of a research group which has, over the last few years, carried out a careful contextualization of the massacres of civilians in four Italian regions (Apulia, Campania, Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna) during World War II. The research enables us to go beyond references to the irrationality of evil, the unchangeable core of violence in human nature or terror as an end in itself, which do not contribute much to an analy…
The Italian resistance between history and memory
Since the 1960s the Resistance has held pride of place in public ceremonial, political debate and to a point also in historcial writing in Italy. The emphasis on its popular and national character transformed the Resistance into the struggle of the whole country to rid Italy of the German invaders and the small number of Italian fascists who remained their allies, but in ways that took no account of the complexity of people's reactions and the di…

La modernisation violente en Italie: Perspective historique du crime organisé
Cet article tente de comprendre les caractéristiques actuelles de la mafia en la resituant dans une perspective historique et au sein de l'histoire de la montée de la violence organisée. Plutôt que d'accepter l'image de la mafia comme force invincible et mystérieuse, l'auteur, se basant sur les sources judiciaires et policières, montre qu'elle est née au début du XIXe siècle, après l'éviction de la féodalité et la tentative des Bourbons de réalis…
