“Imaginary fascism”, the presentation of Andrea Martini’s book at Feltrinelli

Feltrinelli Lucca, tomorrow (18 April) at 6pm in the shop in via Beccheria 29, Andrea Martini will present his new book Imaginary fascism. Rewrite the past on the rightLaterza editions.

He will dialogue with the author Jonathan Pieri, director of the Historical Institute of the Resistance and the Contemporary Age in the province of Lucca. The appointment is part of the review Reading teaches reading: democracy at risk.

Andrea Martini (Verona, 1989) obtained the title of PhD in international studies at the University of Naples L’Orientale and directs the Veronese Institute for the history of the Resistance and the contemporary age. In Imaginary fascism, Martini investigates the widespread, at least indulgent, rereading of the fascist period following the end of the Second World War, and questions in particular the complicity shown by large sectors of the journalistic and editorial world. It is not so obvious, he says, that the protagonists of an authoritarian and liberticidal regime and of a government, that of the RSI, accomplice of an occupying force, had the possibility of legally circulating their version of the facts.
