The world in a sea
The Mediterranean, both a sea and a theatre, has served throughout history as a fundamental crossroads for the political-religious dynamics and international tensions that characterize the various worlds, east and west, south and north, that meet in this basin. Starting from these premises, the present work examines - within a chronological span that goes from the conclusion of the Second World War to the end of Pius XII’s pontificate - the contribution offered by the Holy See and by Catholics from different national contexts in deciphering the role of the Mediterranean Sea within the wider global context. As such, it constitutes a reflection on this geographical space with its peculiar cultural, economic, political, and religious realities by highlighting the role played by the Mediterranean in the elaboration of visions and projects of civilization. This work is the fruit of a wider research programme called Occidentes - Horizons and projects of civilization in the Church of Pius XII. It brings together the work of seven historians from different European Universities.

The Round Dance
The village of Hora is a magical place that blurs the boundaries between a mythical past and the present. It is here that Costantino Avati grows alongside his impetuous and melancholic father, Francesco; his mother, Elena, who hides a secret torment; his two sisters, Orlandina and Lucrezia; and his grandfather Lissandro, the last custodian of an era and a world that are disappearing. As Costantino feels the pangs of first love with the intriguing Roman Isabella, he also discovers the romantic allure of his own village and its rich cultural heritage. In his first novel, acclaimed author Carmine Abate transforms his Italo-Albanian (Arbëresh) hometown of Carfizzi, Calabria, into a magical realist wonderland that rivals Gabriel García Márquez’s Macondo. Inspired by the oral traditions of the old Albanian bards and incorporating the poetic local dialect, The Round Dance is a unique piece of multicultural literature that was named by the publishing house Mondadori as one of the one hundred greatest Italian novels of the twentieth century.
Alternative Modernities
Antonio Gramsci lived the Great War as a “historic break,” a profound experience that left an indelible mark on the development of his political thought. Translated into English for the first time, Alternative Modernities reconstructs and analyses this critical period of Gramsci’s intellectual formation through a systematic analysis of his writings from 1915 to 1935. For Gramsci, Soviet Communism, “Americanism,” and the “new” Fascist State were the principle responses to the crisis of the old world order. He portrayed them as the three protagonists of twentieth-century modernity, alternatives destined to tragically clash in the worldwide struggle for hegemony. Among the argumen...
Henry Patenson
Chiunque abbia avuto un contatto, se pur superficiale con la vita di Thomas More, difficilmente si sarà lasciato sfuggire l’occasione di ammirare la figura e le gesta di Henry Patenson, nonché domandarsi come sia stato possibile che quest’uomo abbia potuto trovare un posto così importante nel cuore e nella vita del più illustre statista inglese del cinquecento? Come mai un uomo apparentemente così integro e severo abbia voluto per sé e per la sua famiglia un servo di così evidente insanità mentale che risiedesse stabilmente nella sua casa e che lo accompagnasse in viaggi ufficiali di rilevanza strategica per il regno d’Inghilterra? E soprattutto non si può evitare di chiedersi se l’attitudine all’allegria di More sia stata influenzata in qualche misura dall’uomo che storicamente sarà ricordato come il buffone di sir Thomas More, o viceversa se l’identità del buffone prenderà forma in Henry alla scuola dell’allegria del suo amato padrone?
