Fascismo al bivio: The Arditi del popolo and Civil War at the Advent of Fascist Power

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

<p>Focused on the years immediately following World War I in Italy, the <em>dopoguerra</em>, this thesis revisits the entire period from 1919 to 1922 with special attention given to the largest organized, armed antifascist group, the Arditi del popolo (AdP). It argues that it was the AdP, not the Italian Communist Party (PCI), that preoccupied Prime Minister Ivanoe Bonomi and led the Socialists (PSI) to work with Benito Mussolini and other members of the Fasci di combattimento (FdC), their erstwhile nemeses, in creating a pacification agreement in the summer of 1921.</p>
