Fascist Modernities
This cultural history of Mussolini's dictatorship discusses the meanings of modernity in interwar Italy. The work argues that fascism appealed to many Italian intellectuals as a new model of modernity that would resolve the European crisis as well as long-standing problems of the national past.
How Fascism Ruled Women
"Italy has been made; now we need to make the Italians," goes a familiar Italian saying. Mussolini was the first head of state to include women in this mandate. How the fascist dictatorship defined the place of women in modern Italy and how women experienced the Duce's rule are the subjects of Victoria de Grazia's new work. De Grazia draws on an array of sources—memoirs and novels, the images, songs, and events of mass culture, as well as government statistics and archival reports. She offers a broad yet detailed characterization of Italian women's ambiguous and ambivalent experience of a regime that promised modernity, yet denied women emancipation. Always attentive to the great diversity...
Architecture and the Novel under the Italian Fascist Regime
Architecture and the Novel under the Italian Fascist Regime discusses the relationship between the novel and architecture during the Fascist period in Italy (1922-1943). By looking at two profoundly diverse aesthetic phenomena within the context of the creation of a Fascist State art, Billiani and Pennacchietti argue that an effort of construction, or reconstruction, was the main driving force behind both projects: the advocated “revolution” of the novel form (realism) and that of architecture (rationalism). The book is divided into seven chapters, which in turn analyze the interconnections between the novel and architecture in theory and in practice. The first six chapters cover debates on State art, on the novel and on architecture, as well as their historical development and their unfolding in key journals of the period. The last chapter offers a detailed analysis of some important novels and buildings, which have in practice realized some of the key principles articulated in the theoretical disputes.

Il prezzo della ricostruzione
Molto si è scritto sull'epopea dell'emigrazione che dall'ultimo scorcio dell'Ottocento allo scoppio della prima guerra mondiale ha svuotato le campagne e dislocato oltreoceano milioni di nostri connazionali. Minore attenzione ha riscosso l'esodo del secondo dopoguerra, forse meno spettacolare e certo meno mitizzato dell'altro. Identico fenomeno, molte analogie, ma anche molte differenze. Andreina De Clementi descrive la nuova mappa delle mete dell'emigrazione italiana nei primi dieci anni del secondo dopoguerra, la trasformazione da avventura individuale a impresa controllata dalle burocrazie statali, l'inedita domanda di mano d'opera femminile. Discostandosi da un approccio storiografico consolidato, l'autrice delinea una vicenda complessa e problematica, che affonda le sue radici nel più generale contesto economico-politico dell'epoca.
