Elena TabacchiThe article seeks to examine the various ideological meanings of the first national Arbor Day celebration in Italy, promoted by education minister Guido Bacelli in 1899. It begins by exploring the American origins of the celebration, linking the first Arbor Days to their original context of modernization of the United States at the end of the nineteenth century. It then tackles the Italian experience arguing that the ‘Festa degli Alberi’ (Arbor Day) represents an interesting case study in the context of the crisis of legitimacy experienced by the Italian monarchy at the time. In the aftermath of the celebrations for the 50 years of 1848, we see an interesting juxtaposition, in the same symbolical space, of homages to the monarchy and references to the democratic tradition of the Risorgimento. Finally, it examines the agrarian ideology animating the celebrations, and suggests its reactionary nature vis-a-vis.

Filippo FrangioniOn the 25 April of 1974 the Carnation revolution overthrew the Portuguese authoritarian dictatorship: an unexpected revolution for the European left, including the Italian left. This article deals with the relevance of Portuguese events for the Italian left political cultures, especially the Communist party, the Socialist party and a New Left group, Lotta Continua. The different points of view on the Portuguese revolution - the consequences of decolonization, the European integration process, the dilemmas of Detente and Cold War - caused an overlapping of patterns and interpretations. It is proposed to observe this process by following a continuous oscillation between Europeanism and Third Worldism.

Laura Fournier-FinocchiaroThe author examines the evolution of 1812 Russian Campaign memory in Italy, asking how this event, initially removed from the nineteenth-century historiographical tradition, has been progressively integrated into the national history, to the point of looking like a heroic episode, that finds a place in the Pantheon of the Risorgimento battles. She recalls the main points of public and private memory of the Russian Campaign, the celebrations and removals during the Risorgimento, the construction of "sites of memory" in the Kingdom of Italy and the first centenary’s initiatives, to show the different aspects of the War of 1812.

Marco RovinelloThe article deals with the representations of the military in liberal Italy and the role of iconic language in the military and antimilitarist propaganda in peacetime. Paintings, postcards and illustrated magazines - both military and civilian - will be analyzed in order to reconstruct the "war of representation" between antimilitarist media and those who were ideologically close to the Ministry of War between Italian unification and the eve of the Great War. Special attention will be paid to the key-figure of the draftee. Auto-representations and etero-representations of conscripts will be examined in order to explain the evolution of the image of the military conscription, and also to compare the conflicting representations promoted by the military authorities and enemies of the national standing army (Republicans, Socialists, Anarchists, the supporters of the “nation in arms”) shortly after unification, in the 1870s-1880s and in the crisis of the 1890s.

Gregorio SorgonàThe paper provides an insight into the history of Italian anticommunism by focusing on the case study of 1980s Msi-Dn (Movimento sociale italiano-Destra nazionale). The chronological framework matches with a decade of deep transformation of the communist movement, which will have its peak with the collapse of the Ussr. The development of Msi is undoubtedly affected by the transformation of its main enemy. With the reformist course imposed by Mikhail Gorbachev on Soviet communism, and the end of the ‘communist threat’ in Italy, the homogeneity of the neo-fascist anticommunism starts cracking. The crisis of communism determines within the Msi a bifurcation between a rigidly anti-communist group, which refers to Giorgio Almirante, and a variegated minority current that considers the communist threat as out-dated. The result of the dispute on the centrality of anti-communism will turn out to be a key element of the definition of the hegemonic leadership within the post-fascist Italian Right of the 1990s.

Nicola GabrieleTheatre and censorship are two cultural phenomens that during the age of Risorgimento acquire an ideological significance if you compare the two together. In Europe’s Ancien Regime the theatre was considered a «model of order and good sociability », a «virtuous school» where spectators were checked and controllable. But in the first half of the nineteenth century, the Italian theatre does not represent only a «sociability» check point; Opera and Melodrama were artistic forms capable of circulating the ideals of the Risorgimento. The importance that authorities attributed to censorship to check the public’s demonstrations that often accompanied theatrical performances was understandable. After the italian unification it attempted to reaffirm a censorship model inclined to entrust the theatre a social and educational role to control the people, that recalled more in content than in form, the intent of the divided government to entrust at shows and at architectural structures, where they were hosted, the task of contributing to popular education and public order.

Costanza CalabrettaThe article aim is to analyze how Berlin museums display the peaceful revolution (the movement that caused the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of GDR) and the following German reunification. The article focuses on four different historical-museums (Deutsches Historisches Museum, DDR-Museum, Mauer-Museum, Stasi-Museum). Furthermore it examines two temporary exhibitions («Wir sind das Volk!» and «1990: der Weg zur Einheit»), that took place in Berlin in 2009/2010. Looking at the different exhibition strategy and at the slightly different historical interpretations the museums offer, the author underlines how museums and exhibitions develop heterogeneous depiction of the 1989/90 events. The museums role in building the public memory is the key-concept of the article, and this inquiry wants to represent a way to analyze it.

Marco ManfrediThis article investigates the various stages and moments of what proved to be a very popular political tour of the Italian peninsula undertaken by Vincenzo Gioberti in the summer of 1848. The aim of this propaganda tour was to visit several places in order to promote and popularise the ideas underlying the Italian national movement. The highlights of the tour were the public speeches the Piedmontese abbot held in many different towns. In these speeches he repeatedly put forward a narrative aimed at assigning to the various Italian localities he visited a specific place against the backdrop, as it were, of a shared Risorgimento tapestry. By means of an incisive communication strategy he sought to combine the national message with the deep-rooted Italian municipal traditions. At the intersection between political and cultural history, this study nevertheless examines various issues which allow Gioberti’s tour to be read in the light of the cultural paradigms proposed by the "new history of the Risorgimento". In particular, the political tour analysed in this article is an especially good example of how, during the Italian "long Forty-eight", political propaganda activated new communication circuits and explored new methods and practices of communication, based on essentially innovative methods of shaping public opinion.

Leonardo Pompeo D'AlessandroThis essay examines a substantially neglected issue in the history and memory of the Italian participation in the Spanish Civil War: the imprisonment of the Italian soldiers of the Corps volunteer troops. Sent by Mussolini in support of General Franco, they surrendered to the Italian anti-fascist of Garibaldi Battalion during the Battle of Guadalajara, in March 1937. The article reconstructs the various stages of this prison experience: from capture on battle-field where the wide-spread demoralisation of the fascist troops was exacerbated by anti-fascist propaganda, to their repatriation to Italy. In particular, the essay focuses on the attempts of the anti-fascists to free the prisoners of their fascist ideology through political re-education. Although this initiative was present in different ways in all forms of imprisonment during the Second World War, it was in the context of the Spanish Civil War that the first, unpublished, efforts were made to achieve it.
