In this article the author analyses the Fascists’ ability, after the end of the war, to present a memory of the recent past which achieved its aims at least among a significant number of Italians. The success of the Fascist memoirist literature was helped by its tendency to replicate arguments made in post-war courts by people charged with collaborationism. Another important factor was the political authorities’ decision to bring the period of the purges to a premature end. This turning point in Italy’s transition neutered the initial verdicts and legitimized the Fascists’ version of events
