The Italian Revolution: The End Of Politics, Italian Style?

History

Europe

Routledge

Between 1943, when Mussolini was deposed, and 1954, when Alcide De Gasperi, the Christian Democrat who first became premier in December 1945, died, Italy constructed a democratic miracle. Rather than collapse into civil war, the country agreed on a democratic constitution. They took steps toward modernization and created one of the most intellectually vital societies in the world. Italy transformed, in only a decade, from a divided country reeling from Fascism into a modern Western democracy. Mark Gilbert charts the descent of Italy into Fascism, the scale of the wartime disaster, and the Italian resistance to Nazi occupation, all leading to the establishment of the Republic in 1946. Democracy in Italy brought improved social welfare, land reform, universal education, and fledgling rights for women in a country still grounded in Catholicism. Amid democratic progress, though, political factions persisted throughout the twentieth century, and their aftereffects are still visible today, highlighting the fragility inherent to democratic governments in Europe and beyond.

Italy Reborn: From Fascism to Democracy

W.W.Norton&Company

Italy is a country that exercises a hold on the imagination of people all over the world. Its long history has left an inexhaustible treasure chest of cultural achievement. The historic cities of Rome, Florence, and Venice are among the most sought-after destinations in the world for tourists and art lovers, and Italy's natural beauty and cuisine are rightly renowned. Italy's history and politics are also a source of endless fascination. Modern Italy has consistently been a political laboratory for the rest of Europe. In the 19th century, Italian patriotism was of crucial importance in the struggle against the absolute governments reintroduced after the Congress of Vienna, 1814-15. After the fall of Fascism during World War II, Italy became a model of rapid economic development, though its politics has never been less than contentious and its democracy has remained a troubled one. The second edition of Historical Dictionary of Modern Italy is an attempt to introduce the key personalities, events, social developments, and cultural achievements of Italy since the beginning of the 19th century, when Italy first began to emerge as something more than a geographical entity and national feeling began to grow. This is done through a chronology, a list of acronyms and abbreviations, an introductory essay, a map, a bibliography, and some 400 cross-referenced dictionary entries on prominent individuals, basic institutions, crucial events, history, politics, economics, society, and culture.

Since 1992, Italy has been rocked by the disintegration of its traditional ruling elite as dozens of leading politicians have been accused of corruption, extortion, and Mafia ties. The two linchpins of the former governing coalition, the Christian Democrats and the Socialists, have been shattered by scandal and humiliated at the polls. New political forces, such as the Northern League, have rushed to fill the vacuum. The traditional opposition, the Communist Party, changed its name to the Democratic Party of the Left in 1991 and has since emerged as the leader of a coalition of progressive forces that may yet prove itself as Italy’s natural government. The neofascist Italian Social Movement, profiting from the chaos, has become the largest party in Italy’s economically depressed South. All these political disturbances have taken place against a backdrop of mounting economic worries and an internecine war between the state and the Mafia.These political convulsions could well be designated a revolution. Since the fall of the Fourth Republic in France, no Western nation has undergone such a dramatic period of upheaval. This clear and balanced book provides both a historical account of the circumstances that led to la rivoluzione italiana and an explanation of why it took place after decades of complacency.
