Piero Gobetti S Turin: Modernity, Myth and Memory

Niamh Cullen

4.9/5 (33030 ratings)

Description:In his brief public career, Piero Gobetti was one of the most outspoken and original voices of early Italian antifascism. Before his sudden death in 1926, he founded and edited three periodicals, including the fiercely antifascist "La Rivoluzione Liberale" and the literary journal "Il Baretti." While much has been written about his antifascism and his theories of liberal revolution, this book considers him primarily as an organiser of culture and situates him both in the context of his lived experience in Turin after the First World War and in a wider European panorama. Although politically marginal by 1918, Turin was one of Italys most modern cities, with its futuristic Fiat factories, vocal working class and militant socialist intellectuals such as Antonio Gramsci. The book explores Gobettis encounters with Turin - both its history and the modern, urban landscape of Gobettis own day - as central to his thinking. Historically and geographically, Turin was also the Italian city closest to France and northern Europe. If Gobettis immediate surroundings inspired much of his thinking, his sensibilities were - in true Piedmontese style - more European than Italian, and his ultimate impact far from only local. Finally, Gobettis bitter disillusionment with liberal and fascist Italy, as well as his refusal to fit any of the conventional political labels, means that his memory has remained contentious right up to the present day. This groundbreaking new study explores the roots of Gobettis thinking, his impact on Italian culture and his controversial legacy.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
