Podcast appearances and mentions of Benito Mussolini

Air Date: 6/24/2026 The Monthly-ish Mix™ is here to get you caught up on recent news without being overwhelming! If you've been pulling back from the news for your own sanity, this one's built for you — a quick recap and reference guide to the past month or two, organized around a single idea: when power can't earn legitimacy, it manufactures it. The performance. Spectacle, religion, and health branding standing in for real consent: Trump collecting a FIFA "peace prize," Christian nationalism worn as a costume the actual church refuses to bless, and RFK Jr. dressing up a gutted vaccine agenda as "moderate," scapegoating immigrants as he goes, while the USAID cuts run up a body count. The machinery. The infrastructure that keeps the performance going while real consent drains away underneath: a legal system bent toward self-dealing and a $1.8 billion slush fund, billionaire money rewriting the rules since Citizens United, an AI gold rush sold as inevitable before anyone voted on it, and an economy booming on paper while the ground shifts under everyone's feet. The vacuum and the reclaiming. What rushes in when legitimacy collapses, from normalized political violence to a manifesto born of that collapse — and then the democratic answer: why the rupture hasn't come, why revolutions tend to devour themselves, and why the slower work wins. Nonviolent movements draw eleven times the participation, and the ballot box the Supreme Court is fighting hardest to narrow is the same one that just turned out 78% of Hungary to remove Orbán.

Werner Rügemer discusses his book "Fatal Friendship: First Phase: From World War I to II." From the book jacket: Rising US capitalism presented itself to the world with freedom, democracy, and prosperity. However, the practices of America First-genocide, labor exploitation, and warlike plunder of foreign property-were merely modernized.The First World War became the first major global business venture, making allies dependent. After the war, US corporations invested in Western Europe. Mussolini was showered with loans. US corporations supplied Franco and equipped the German Wehrmacht for a war against Russia.Support Sublation Mediahttps://patreon.com/dietsoap

‘The beautiful game has never looked more beautiful on the pitch, or more ugly off it,' Simon Skinner writes in the latest LRB. Each World Cup seems more tainted by corruption than the last, but is that a nostalgic illusion? The second competition, held in Italy in 1934, was a podium for Mussolini and, as Skinner puts it, ‘an early advertisement of the tournament's potential service to politically repressive hosts' that has continued through the years to Russia 2018, Qatar 2022 and the ‘Fifa-MAGA pageant' of 2026. In this episode Simon Skinner and Natasha Chahal join Tom to talk about the long relationship between football and politics and why Roberto Baggio can offer us no consolation.

Nel 1985 Franco Modigliani vince il Premio Nobel per l'economia, l'unico italiano ad aver ottenuto questo riconoscimento. Ma dietro quel successo si nasconde una saga familiare che intreccia fuga, amore, fascismo e guerra. Quando nel 1938 Benito Mussolini promulga le leggi razziali, Franco ha solo vent'anni, è ebreo ed è innamorato di Serena Calabi. Insieme i due decidono di scappare, prima a Parigi e poi negli Stati Uniti. Quasi novant'anni dopo, il nipote David Modigliani scava tra le lettere e i documenti che hanno lasciato, e scopre il lato oscuro della favola romantica: la corrispondenza della famiglia con Mussolini e la storia del fratello di Franco, rimasto in Italia ad affrontare la guerra. Insieme a Mario Calabresi, David intraprende un viaggio nella memoria guidato da una domanda urgente: quando il tuo Paese diventa sempre più autoritario, che cosa fai? Resti o parti? E che cosa succede se non riesci a fuggire? Una sola valigia è una serie in sei puntate, con un nuovo episodio ogni giorno fino al 24 giugno. Learn more about your ad choices.

Centuries before Hollywood dressed it in a nun's habit, the demon Valak prowled the pages of forbidden grimoires as a winged boy astride a two-headed dragon, commanding legions of serpents to do his bidding.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources):https://weirddarkness.com/valekREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/24s8nzb9FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Although Valak is depicted in the films "The Nun" and in “The Conjuring 2” as a habit-wearing spirit, the real demon appears as a child riding a two-headed dragon — at least according to a 17th-century demon-hunting manual. (The Reality Behind The Demon, Valak) *** The Vatican is one of the most well-guarded areas in the world. But if rumors are to be believed, all that security isn't only to protect the pontiff… but some dark, disturbing secrets… and a machine that could change everything we know to be true. (The Vatican's Secret Machine) *** We'll look at that time a force field was accidentally created at a 3M plant. (3M's Accidental Force Field) *** In 1872 George Wheeler met and married May Tillson in Boston. He made a home for May and her younger sister Della, first in New York, then in California. Along the way, George fell in love with young Della and when she planned to marry someone else he was faced with a dilemma: he could not marry her himself and he could not bear to see her wed to another. The solution he chose pleased no one. (Thus She Passed Away) *** In the 1800s scientists and doctors needed cadavers to study human anatomy and practice their skills. To help accommodate the need, it was made legal to sell dead bodies. What could possibly go wrong?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: December, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness moves from a centuries-old demon mistaken for a nun, through the Victorian trade in stolen corpses and a force field that appeared inside a 1980 factory, to a San Francisco trunk murder and a Catholic priest who claimed to have built a machine that could film the past.It opens with the demon Valak, who reaches modern audiences through The Nun and The Conjuring 2 as a pale, nun-robed figure but appears in the 17th-century grimoire Clavicula Salomonis Regis, or The Key of Solomon, as the 62nd spirit: a boy with angel's wings riding a two-headed dragon, commanding a legion of serpents and an army of thirty demons while hunting snakes and hidden treasure. The nun costume was the invention of director James Wan, who reshaped a vision the medium Lorraine Warren described to him — a swirling hooded figure carrying female energy — into a holy icon turned against her Catholic faith. Warren and her husband Ed, the demonologists who rose to fame after the 1976 Amityville investigation, reportedly met a spectral hooded figure at the Borley church in southern England, where lore held that a nun had been bricked alive in the convent walls after an affair with a monk. The Key of Solomon, which lists the seventy-two demons King Solomon was said to have vanquished, sat on the Vatican's Index librorum prohibitorum until the Church abandoned that list of prohibited books in 1966, though copies kept turning up in the hands of Catholic priests.From there the episode turns to the Anatomy Act of 1832, the British law that legalized dissecting unclaimed bodies from workhouses and hospitals to end the grave-robbing of the resurrectionists, yet instead built an organized corpse trade across Victorian England. The twelfth-century St. Bartholomew's left wicker baskets beneath its King Henry VIII gate for body dealers to fill, while a Liverpool Street express known as the "dead train" carried sealed funeral wagons of stacked corpses toward Cambridge. Deepening the trade, the New Poor Law of 1834 confined the destitute to workhouses whose officials profited from selling the dead, and in 1858 the master of St. Mary Newington workhouse, Alfred Feist, was caught funneling pauper bodies to Guy's Hospital through the undertaker Robert Hogg, who staged fake funerals and collected double payment. Anatomists prized the bodies of fetuses and children, keeping their skulls intact — only one of fifty-four specimens in a Cambridge collection had received a craniotomy — and the public's dread boiled over in Manchester in 1832, when a grandfather opened the coffin of a three-year-old who had died at the Swan Street Cholera Hospital and found a brick where the boy's head should have been.Next comes a stranger kind of dread, set in the summer of 1980 at a 3M plant in South Carolina, where workers slitting twenty-foot-wide polypropylene film at a thousand feet per minute walked into an invisible wall they could not push through. The static-charged field, which one worker measured past the limit of a 200-kilovolt handheld electrometer, pulled people toward it so strongly they had to back away on foot, swallowed a passing fly, and by one account could have held a bird in its grip before vanishing as abruptly as it formed. Managers reproduced the effect the next morning under lower humidity, and the plant production manager reportedly said he didn't know whether to fix it or sell tickets; later accounts claim a researcher who published on the phenomenon was contacted by NASA and federal agencies before the grounding fault was corrected and the field never returned.The episode then moves to a true-crime case in San Francisco, where around midnight on October 20, 1880, George A. Wheeler walked into a police station and confessed to strangling his sister-in-law Della Tillson and packing her body into a trunk in their room at 23 Kearney Street. Wheeler had fathered two children with Della, both of whom died, while her sister — his deaf wife, May — lived across the hall posing as his sister-in-law, and the arrival of the miner George Peckham, who hoped to marry Della and take her to Sacramento, drove Wheeler to kill rather than let the two leave together. He told reporters that Della sat in his lap and asked him to end her life, that she died with her head on his shoulder, and his defense of hereditary insanity failed across two trials, the second forced by a California Supreme Court ruling over improperly admitted testimony from a book on medical jurisprudence. On January 23, 1884, five thousand people gathered outside the jail, entrance tickets sold for ten dollars apiece, and Wheeler — newly drawn toward Catholic conversion under Father Cottle — kissed a crucifix, commended his spirit, and dropped to a broken neck.The episode closes inside the Vatican with Father Pellegrino Ernetti, an Italian priest, exorcist, and musical scholar who claimed in the 1950s to have helped build a device called the Chronovisor that could see and hear the past. Ernetti said a team of twelve anonymous scientists, among them the physicist Enrico Fermi and the rocket engineer Wernher von Braun, tuned the machine to a speech by Mussolini, then Napoleon, a Roman market under Emperor Trajan, a Cicero oration, and a 169 B.C. performance of Quintus Ennius's lost tragedy Thyestes, which he said let him publish its full text. When the magazine La Domenica del Corriere printed a Chronovisor image of Christ's face on the cross on May 2, 1972, it was soon matched to a mirrored photograph of a wood carving by the sculptor Cullot Valera, and Ernetti — who said the machine was too dangerous to exist and had been dismantled and hidden — left behind no device, no named living witnesses, and a 1993 presentation to four cardinals whose contents were never disclosed.

The 1936 Olympic football final in Berlin transcended the realm of mere sport, embodying the intricate interplay between athletics and political propaganda. This episode delves into the monumental significance of that match, highlighting how it served as a narrative of an era on the brink of turmoil. With Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini employing sport as a vehicle for nationalistic fervor, the final between Austria and Italy became emblematic of competing ideologies and national identities. As we recount the tournament's context, we explore how Austria, favored for its artistic playing style, faced unexpected challenges amid the rising shadows of fascism. Ultimately, the match, culminating in Italy's victory, foreshadowed the profound geopolitical shifts that would forever alter the landscape of Europe, marking a poignant farewell to an independent Austria in the annals of sports history.The Olympic football final of 1936, held in Berlin, was an event that represented much more than a mere sporting contest; it was a reflection of the tumultuous historical context of its time. As I delve into this significant event, I am transported to that sultry August day when the Olympic Stadium was a hive of activity, with 90,000 spectators gathered, flags billowing, and military bands filling the air with martial music. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation, amplified by the presence of Adolf Hitler, who, seated in the honor box, signified the political machinations intertwined with this athletic spectacle. At that moment, the world bore witness to a critical juncture in Olympic history, where the quest for gold was emblematic of national pride and power. Understanding the implications of this final necessitates a retrospective glance at the political landscape of Germany in 1936. Following his rise to power three years prior, Hitler had recognized the profound potential of sport as a means of propaganda. The Berlin Games were meticulously orchestrated to present Germany as a formidable, modern nation, with a focus on creating an impactful and memorable experience for the international community. Yet, the unpredictable nature of sport would prove to be a formidable adversary to Hitler's aspirations. Germany's unexpected loss to Norway in the quarter-finals—an event that transpired before the eyes of a visibly incensed Hitler—shattered the carefully crafted narrative of German supremacy, setting the stage for the climactic showdown between Austria and Italy in the final. The final itself was a microcosm of the broader political tensions of the time, representing not only a struggle for athletic glory but also an ideological confrontation between fascist regimes. Austria, with its renowned 'Wunderteam', was favored to claim victory, yet Italy's disciplined and strategic approach to the game ultimately triumphed. The match ended in a 2-1 victory for Italy, a result that resonated far beyond the pitch, symbolizing the fragility of national identities in an era of escalating fascism. This final was to be one of the last significant international appearances of an independent Austria before its annexation by Germany, rendering the outcome a poignant reminder of a nation on the brink of erasure. The implications of this match would reverberate through history, as it encapsulated a moment before the storm of World War II, illustrating how sport intersected with the forces of political upheaval and national identity.Takeaways:The 1936 Olympic football final in Berlin transcended mere sport, symbolizing political tensions and international relations.Adolf Hitler's presence at the final illustrated the intersection of sport and propaganda during the Nazi regime.Austria's football team, known for their artistic playing style, faced Italy amidst rising political pressures in Europe.The unexpected defeat of Germany by Norway in the quarterfinals was a significant moment for Hitler's ambitions in sports.The final match between Austria and Italy was not merely a competition but a reflection of fascist ideologies.In retrospect, the 1936 final represented one of the last international showcases of independent Austria before its annexation.Companies mentioned in this episode:Adolf HitlerOostenrijkItaliëBenito Mussolini

Först sänd: 2017-09-27.Den som har flugit till eller från Stockholm har kanske lagt märke till att flygledartornet på Arlanda är speciellt. Det är inte enbart ett logistiskt centrum och ett arkitektoniskt verk, utan också en konstinstallation.Flygledningen på Arlanda bärs upp av två liksom sammanvuxna tvillingtorn, ett ljust och ett mörkt. Byggnaden invigdes 2001 och är ritad av arkitektbyrån Wingårdh. Den finska konstnären Silja Rantanen fick uppdraget från Statens Konstråd att utsmycka det.I stället för att bidra med lämpliga dekorationer, integrerade Rantanen byggnad och konstverk på ett subtilt sätt.Flygledartornet på Arlanda är randigt – ljusa ränder kring den mörka delen av tornet, mörka ränder kring den ljusa. Ett ljust och mörkt randigt torn var arkitektens idé, och Silja Rantanen bestämde sig för att använda ränderna som textrader. I ränderna fogade hon in text av pionjärpiloten, mystikern och författaren Antoine de S:t Exupéry.Som flygare blev Exupéry legendarisk genom sina insatser för franskt postflyg på 1920-talet. Till hans litterära verk hör bland mycket annat ”Den lille prinsen”, världens genom tiderna mest spridda barnbok, och debutromanen ”Courrier Sud” från 1928. Så småningom översattes den av poeten Gunnar Ekelöf och gavs ut i Sverige 1960 med titeln ”Postflyg Syd”.Han strödde både bomber och dikter från sitt flygplan och han blev fascismens galjonsfigur.Textfragmenten som finns på Arlandas flygledartorn är hämtade ur den boken. Där speglas kraftfulla inre och yttre skeenden under en postrutinflygning i början av förra seklet. Himlens och jordens mysterier och drama tvinnas samman, i en kärleksakt och en kamp som S:t Exupéry i sitt skrivande skulle fortsätta utforska.S:t Exupéry har fått ett slags helgonstatus. Många ser hans böcker som en källa till livsvisdom och vägledning. Han formulerar skönheten i drömmen om att flyga som en metafor för människans sökande och mod. Det är vackert. Exupéry är lätt att tycka om. Men tanken från början var inte att enbart hans text skulle skrivas på flygledartornens väggar.Rader ur "Postflyg Syd" skulle pryda det tornets ljusa del, var det tänkt. På den mörka sidan ville Silja Rantanen ha text av den italienske piloten och poeten Gabriele d'Annunzio.Även d'Annunzio flög. Han skrev. Han gjorde båda sakerna bra. Liksom Exupéry formulerade han människans grandiosa drömmar så att människor kände det. Men han var milt sagt inte lika oproblematisk som Exupéry. Det inser den som läser Magnus Bärtås och Fredrik Ekmans digra verk ”Bebådaren” från 2017, där fenomenet d'Annunzio genomlyses grundligt.D'Annunzio var ett hår av hin. Han satte i system att behandla andra illa, och omgivningen gick med på det med nästan masochistisk fröjd. Han lämnade ett spår i historien genom att erövra och utropa staden Fiume i nuvarande Kroatien till sin egen personliga fristat. Denne extremt karismatiske och framburne italienske poet och pilot tände nationalistisk glöd i massorna inför första världskriget. Han strödde både bomber och dikter från sitt flygplan och han blev fascismens galjonsfigur. Mussolini högaktade honom. Samtida italienska fascister håller honom också högt.I arkitekturtidskriften ptah nummer 2 och 3 2001, publicerade Silja Rantanen en lång reflekterande essä i två delar om sitt konstnärliga arbete med flygledartornet på Arlanda. När hon reflekterade över de konstnärliga möjligheterna som ett flygledartorn erbjuder, beskrev hon det som ”chansen att drömma tillsammans”. Jag tror att flygledartornet som hon ursprungligen tänkte sig det, skulle ha gestaltat att chansen att drömma tillsammans också innebär en risk.Är det inte just vad fascismen erbjuder – en chans att riskabelt drömma tillsammans, att få ingå i en karismatisk gemenskap som ger mod, styrka, självtillit, kraft? Att skapa gemenskap genom att agera ut mot andra som anses sämre, svagare, inte värda att få finnas?... då blir tornet i nuvarande skick kanske en konstnärlig utsaga om vad vi inte vill prata om, inte vill se, om den förbjudna texten.Bärtås och Ekmans ”Bebådaren” väcker de här frågorna, utan att jag tröstas med lugnande svar. Boken är strålande och otäck. När jag läser den framstår d'Annunzio för mig som ett slags mörkt motstycke till ljusgestalten Exupéry.Våra vackra drömmar om kraft och överskridande har en mörkersida. Att drömma om att flyga, i d´Annuzios fall, är också en dröm om att segra, överordna sig, kuva. Att låta d'Annunzios texter pryda den mörka delen av tornet på Arlanda, som konstrast till Exupérys ord på det ljusa tornet, det är kort sagt närmast genialt.Men Rantanens idé stötte på patrull. Hennes projekt krävde inte bara intensivt praktiskt samarbete, tillexempel med Strängbetong i Herrljunga som gjöt tornfasadens betongelement. Det krävdes också långa förankrande kommunikationer med en mängd olika instanser som skulle säga sitt om verket.När det gällde d'Annunzio sa uppdragsgivarna ifrån. Att ha text av fascismens guldgosse på Arlandas flygledartorn, det gick inte. Rantanen fick klartecken för att genomföra sitt verk på villkor att d'Annunzios text ströks.Så, i dag står det dubbla tornet där, de två tornen, det ljusa och det mörka, med text enbart av Antoine de S:t-Exupéry. idén om konsten som ett direkt avtryck av konstnärssjälen, har gått ur modet.Vart tog konstnärens frihet vägen, undrar nu kanske någon. Men efter att ha mött den fullständigt fria konstnären i d'Annunzios skepnad, både i Bärtås och Ekmans bok ”Bebådaren” och i Göran Häggs biografi ”D'Annunzio” från 2015, känner jag att begreppet ”fri konstnär” behöver belysas kritiskt.Man kan lugnt säga att d'Annunzios verk speglade hans personlighet och kynne. I sin essä i ptah, apropå konst i allmänhet, skrev Rantanen att hon starkt invänder mot idén att ett verk bör reflektera upphovspersonens temperament. På Arlanda ville hon i stället skapa ett intryck som bottnade i kontrasten mellan verklighetsnivåer i arkitektur och i litteratur. Verket tycks söka sin näring i gåtan som uppstår när gestaltningen av ett existentiellt drama tar plats i funktionens och logistikens offentliga rum.Att i stället förse Arlandas flygledartorn med något slags mer personligt uttryck, hävdade hon, skulle bara vara att göda en populär missuppfattning om konstnärer.Jag tror de flesta konstnärer idag känner viss frändskap med Silja Rantanen på den här punkten. D'Annunzios och Exupérys självsvåldigt grandiosa konstnärsgestalter, idén om konsten som ett direkt avtryck av konstnärssjälen, har gått ur modet.Som gestalt och persona är d'Annunzio passé, och det är nog bäst så, även om hans eldiga flygdiktning är BRA. För det är den. Den ljusa kraften i oss, människan som Guds avbild, exemplifierad i text av den helgonlike Exupéry, hade kunnat kompletteras på Arlandas flygledartorn med stark flygpoesi av en konstnär som personifierade det diaboliska, det syndfulla och fallna och farliga.Om man vet, när man idag ser det ljusa och mörka tornet på Arlanda, att det fascistoida i oss i stället är bokstavligen bortlyft ur gestaltningen – då blir tornet i nuvarande skick kanske en konstnärlig utsaga om vad vi inte vill prata om, inte vill se, om den förbjudna texten. I tomrummet skulle vi kanske ha behövt den förkastliga människans drömmar, klart utsagda, för att se dubbelheten i vår djärvhet och längtan för vad den är.Men. Nu är det bara Exupérys som står där, skriven på flygledartornets vägg, nästan omärklig och fragmentariskt gåtfull.Vi ser den varje gång vi flyger till eller från Arlanda, utan att veta att vi ser den. I centrum av modernitetens offentliga logistiska rum, flygplatsen, står de två tornen där som bärare av ett slags hemlig skrift, som det oåtkomliga svaret på en evig fråga: Vilka är vi, vi som flyger och drömmer om att flyga?

Irish republicans had many natural allies during the War of Independence. Irish communities in the United States offered vital support, while revolutionaries in India and Egypt were also fighting for freedom from the British Empire. But the search for allies also led Irish republicans into far more complicated territory.Across the British Empire, they courted support not from colonised peoples, but from European settlers and their descendants in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa, many of them with Irish roots. In Europe, they looked to the Vatican, despite the Catholic Church's long-standing suspicion of republicanism and revolution. Most controversially, Irish republicans also sought contact with Benito Mussolini, who was on his way to becoming Europe's first fascist dictatorIn this final episode of Brothers in Pain, Dr Brian Hanley explores the uncomfortable history of Irish republican alliances abroad. From South Africa to the Papacy and fascist Italy, this episode asks why Irish revolutionaries sought support in such unlikely places, what they gained, and what these choices reveal about the Irish Revolution, empire and the wider world after the First World War.This is the final episode of Brothers in Pain a groundbreaking Global history of the Irish War of Independence by Dr Brian HanleyWritten, Researched & Narrated by Dr Brian Hanley.Check out Brian's publications here https://www.tcd.ie/history/staff/brian-hanley.phpProducer: Fin DwyerSound: Kate DunleaNote from Brian :In researching these episodes I have been indebted to the work of the following scholars;Anna Lively, Sam McGrath, Bruce Nelson, John Belchem, Terry Dunne, David Brundage, Niamh Coffey, Gerard Shannon, Maurice Casey, Kelly Anne Reynolds, Chris McNickle, Joe Doyle, Liz Gillis, FM Carroll, Patrick Mannion, Jimmy Yann, Niall Cullen, Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc, Keith Jeffrey, Arthur Mitchell, John Borgonovo, Kate O'Malley, Michael Doorley, Robin Adams, Kevin Kenny, Fearghal McGarry, Catherine M.

Rattling the Bars host Mansa Musa, former political prisoner and Black Panther, speaks with Alberto Toscano, professor of critical theory and author of Late Fascism, about how consent and coercion operate within US civil society and abroad today. In Part 2 of their two-part conversation, Musa and Toscano unpack the history and relevance of Antonio Gramsci, the Italian Marxist theorist imprisoned by fascist dictator Benito Mussolini in 1926, and they discuss how Donald Trump's domestic and foreign platforms in 2026 animate white nationalism—relying on the explicit promise of state violence against targeted populations. Guests:Alberto Toscano is a renowned Italian cultural critic, social theorist, philosopher, translator, and adjunct professor at the Simon Fraser University School of Communication. Toscano is a columnist at In These Times and the (co-)author of numerous books, including: Late Fascism: Race, Capitalism and the Politics of Crisis; and Fanaticism: On the Uses of an Idea.Credits:Producer / Videographer / Editor: Cameron GranadinoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/rattling-the-bars--4799829/support.Follow Rattling the Bars on Spotify or Apple Podcasts Sign up for our newsletterFollow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkHelp us continue producing Rattling the Bars by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer

The Toscanini Conspiracy – Arturo Toscanini, Fascism, and the Italian Resistance with Filippo IannaroneIn this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we are joined by Italian author Filippo Iannarone to discuss his acclaimed crime novel, The Toscanini Conspiracy – a story that weaves together a real‑life cold case, the anti‑fascist resistance of conductor Arturo Toscanini, and the author's own family history of heroic opposition to Mussolini and Hitler.The novel began with a chance encounter. While travelling in Val d'Orcia, Filippo discovered a small inn called Locanda Toscanini and asked the host why it bore the name of the legendary conductor. The answer opened a door to a forgotten story: the murder of Dr. Rinaldi, a physician and friend of Toscanini, in 1935 – the same year Mussolini invaded Ethiopia. The case was never solved. But as Filippo dug through newspaper archives and court documents, he found that it exposed a hidden world of anti‑fascist activity in a small Tuscan village.That village became a gathering place for intellectuals, artists, and dissidents – including the explorer Umberto Nobile, fashion designer Salvatore Ferragamo, and Anita Garibaldi – all resisting the tightening grip of Mussolini's regime. At the centre of it all was Arturo Toscanini, the most famous conductor in the world, who had already been beaten by fascist thugs for refusing to play the regime's anthem. Later, he would reject a personal invitation from Adolf Hitler to conduct at Bayreuth – a decision that carried immense symbolic weight.But Filippo's story is also deeply personal. His uncle, Major General Michele Iannarone, was a hero of the Italian Resistance. A monarchist officer who served on the Eastern Front and developed contacts with German officers opposed to Hitler, he became one of the commanders of Rome's clandestine military resistance after the fall of Mussolini in July 1943. When Rome was occupied by the Nazis, his network of thousands of partisans coordinated with the Allies, saved Jewish families, and kept the German army occupied until the Americans arrived.We discuss the brutal civil war that raged in Italy from 1943 until well after the war's end, the forgotten role of monarchist partisans, the trauma of the "years of lead" in the 1970s, and the uncomfortable continuities between fascism and today's far‑right movements across Europe and America. Filippo also reflects on what Toscanini would make of our current moment – and why telling these stories matters more than ever.Topics covered:The real‑life cold case that inspired the novelArturo Toscanini's anti‑fascist activismThe 1935 Italian invasion of Ethiopia and its domestic consequencesThe alternative community of dissidents in Spiazza, TuscanyMajor General Michele Iannarone and the monarchist partisansThe military clandestine front in occupied RomeThe Via Rasella bombing and the Ardeatine massacreItaly's post‑war civil war and the "years of lead"The erasure of monarchist partisans from official historyParallels between 1930s Italy and today's far‑right movementsFilippo Iannarone's The Toscanini Conspiracy is available now in English.

WHAT IS FASCISM AND HOW TO FIGHT IT!!!!Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology. It prioritizes the perceived interest and glory of the nation over individual rights, often relying on dictatorial leadership, strict social and economic regimentation, militarism, and the violent suppression of opposition. [1, 2, 3]Key characteristics of fascism include:Extreme Nationalism: Absolute loyalty to the state or ethnic group, placing national unity above individual liberties. [1, 2]Dictatorial Power: Centralized, autocratic leadership that rejects democratic processes, pluralism, and liberalism. [1, 2]Scapegoating: Fixation on real or perceived national decline and the blaming of minority groups, foreigners, or political dissidents for societal problems. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]Militarism and Violence: The embrace of physical force, paramilitarism, and aggressive warfare as tools for political progress and "national cleansing". [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]State and Corporate Integration: Strong regimentation of the economy and society, often fusing state power with corporate interests. [1, 2]The ideology first emerged in early 20th-century Europe, most notably in Italy under Benito Mussolini and Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler. You can read more about the historical regimes and ideologies on the Holocaust Encyclopedia. [1, 2, 3]

Josip Broz was the wartime resistance leader who became Tito, the strongman ruler of Yugoslavia. He defeated both Hitler and Mussolini. He stared down Stalin. He consolidated much of the Balkans as a single state, helping it to punch above its weight. But beyond his undoubted political skill and avuncular demeanour there was also a darkness… and an iron fist. So who really was the man behind the name? How did he chart a third way through the Cold War? And how is he remembered today? A Noiser podcast production. Narrated by Paul McGann. Featuring Neil Barnett, Branko Brkic, Christopher Catherwood, Richard Mills, Nicholas O'Shaughnessy, Geoffrey Swain, Susan L Woodward. This is Part 1 of 5.

¿Qué tiene que ver el Vaticano, las Guerras Mundiales y la Inteligencia Artificial?

El escritor liberal analiza el futuro de la región y desmonta los mitos totalitarios en su nueva obra, ‘Nazi-Comunismo'. Iberoamérica vive uno de sus momentos políticos más intensos y polarizados de las últimas décadas. Presidentes que generan pasiones globales, batallas ideológicas sin cuartel y países que oscilan entre el colapso y la transformación radical. Además, se suman las recientes elecciones en Colombia y en Perú, así como el fenómeno que causa el presidente argentino, Javier Milei. Esta semana, en Economía para Quedarte sin Amigos, contamos con Axel Kaiser, escritor, pensador liberal, abogado, profesor universitario y presidente de la Fundación para el Progreso de Chile, para analizar el mapa político del continente y presentar su libro Nazi-comunismo, publicado por Editorial Deusto, en el que defiende que nazismo y comunismo son dos caras de la misma moneda. Apoyándose en fuentes primarias, muchas de ellas solo disponibles en alemán, Kaiser argumenta que el nazismo y el marxismo-leninismo comparten cinco elementos esenciales. "La gente no va a poder creer cómo la identidad ideológica criminal del marxismo es la misma que tiene el nazismo", señala Kaiser, que también recuerda que los propios Mises y Hayek ya advirtieron de ello. Que el mismo Mussolini llevara una medalla de Karl Marx en el bolsillo durante años, o que Hitler tomara ideas directamente de Marx para incorporarlas a su matriz ideológica, son datos que el libro documenta con precisión y que explican por qué la descalificación fácil de "facho" sigue siendo una herramienta para cerrar debates.Música Esta semana, la protagonista de nuestra selección musical es el grupo hispano-argentino Los Rodríguez. Y estos son los temas que hemos escuchado: "Sin Documentos" "Para No Olvidar" "Mucho Mejor" "Dulce Condena"

Joel Kotkin disputes the label of "fascist" for the MAGA movement, noting it lacks the youth-driven, paramilitary organization characteristic of movements led by Mussolini or Hitler. He describes MAGA as a chaotic coalition of various interest groups held together by Donald Trump's personality. Kotkin emphasizes that using the term as a political slur ruins the possibility of necessary civil discourse. (8)1936

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-10-26.Greg Scarlatoiu analyzes Xi Jinping's visit to Pyongyang, noting that Kim Jong-un now views himself as a strategic equal to Xi and Putin. Despite sanctions, North Korea's economy shows a facade of growth fueled by billions made exporting artillery and special forces to Russia. Kim is also modernizing his security apparatus into a structure similar to Russia's FSB. (1)Professor Jim Holmes discusses the naval balance between the U.S. and China, suggesting the PLA Navy aims for six aircraft carriers to project power in the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean. While China has made strides in naval aviation without the heavy losses the U.S. historically endured, Holmes believes they still lag behind in technological sophistication and human tactical proficiency. (2)Victoria Coates highlights Taiwan's indispensable role in the global AI revolution through TSMC's high-end chip production, which the U.S. and China currently cannot replicate. She emphasizes that Taiwan's engineering "super workers" are a state secret. Coates also discusses the political friction in Washington regarding arms sales and the need for Taiwan to increase its own defense spending. (3)Victoria Coates addresses the Pentagon's decision to list major Chinese companies like BYD and Alibaba as security risks due to their military ties. She argues for clear country-of-origin labeling on products to inform American consumers. Furthermore, Coates criticizes the Biden administration for prioritizing climate goals over addressing China's use of forced labor in the solar panel supply chain. (4)Natalie Ecanow details Qatar's massive $400 billion investment footprint in the United States, including high-profile real estate like New York's Park Lane Hotel and significant orders for Boeing aircraft. She argues these investments are not merely financial but serve to buy long-term political influence and goodwill with American policymakers, regardless of party affiliation, by embedding Qatari wealth into the U.S. economy. (5)Natalie Ecanow explains that Qatari wealth is controlled by the Al-Thani autocracy, whose values often conflict with U.S. interests, such as their support for Hamas and the Taliban. She highlights the lack of transparency in Qatarifunding, citing a lawsuit that revealed nearly half a billion dollars in undisclosed money sent to Texas A&M University, and calls for stricter U.S. disclosure laws. (6)Joel Kotkin examines the definition of fascism, arguing that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is not a fascist because she respects democratic norms. He identifies China's government-led economy as the closest modern parallel to historical fascism. Kotkin also warns of "techno-fascism," where a small group of global tech companies exert unprecedented control over public opinion and information through surveillance tools. (7)Joel Kotkin disputes the label of "fascist" for the MAGA movement, noting it lacks the youth-driven, paramilitary organization characteristic of movements led by Mussolini or Hitler. He describes MAGA as a chaotic coalition of various interest groups held together by Donald Trump's personality. Kotkin emphasizes that using the term as a political slur ruins the possibility of necessary civil discourse. (8)Michael Bernstam discusses a looming glut of liquefied natural gas driven by record U.S. shale production, which is stabilizing energy prices in Europe. Regarding Russia, he explains that while crude exports continue, Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries have created a domestic manufacturing crisis, leading to fuel shortages for Russian agriculture and industry that are difficult to repair under sanctions. (9)Michael Bernstam reveals that China has significantly reduced its oil imports by nearly half by drawing on massive strategic reserves of 1.4 billion barrels and increasing electric vehicle adoption. Simultaneously, the U.S. has reached record domestic oil production of nearly 14 million barrels per day. These factors combined help lower global oil prices despite declining inventories in other OECD countries. (10)Tal Fortgang explores Justice Scalia's legal philosophy through a biography by James Rosen, focusing on Scalia's dissent in Lee v. Weisman regarding religious benedictions at public graduations. Fortgang explains how Scaliapopularized "originalism" and "textualism," arguing that the Constitution should be interpreted based on the original public meaning of the text rather than through subjective "moral readings" by judges. (11)Tal Fortgang discusses the "Scalian revolution" that shifted the Supreme Court toward judicial restraint. He notes that while Scalia faced a hostile press and "nasty" internal criticism from colleagues like Harry Blackmun, his ideas eventually prevailed. Fortgang also observes that the modern partisan venom in confirmation hearings began during Scalia's era with the contentious treatment of Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas. (12)Simon Constable reports from France on falling global commodity prices for food and energy due to supply meeting demand. He then shifts to the immigration crisis in Britain, where violent incidents in Belfast and Southampton have fueled public outrage. Constable attributes the unrest to a failure of both major parties to manage unfettered immigration and the lack of cultural integration. (13)Simon Constable discusses the declining popularity of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the potential rise of challengers like Andy Burnham. He highlights a dramatic shift in British public opinion, with polling by Lord Ashcroftshowing that a vast majority of Labour, Liberal Democrat, and Green voters—and even a third of Conservatives—now favor rejoining the European Union after a decade of Brexit. (14)Bob Zimmerman tracks the transition to commercial space, noting that private companies like Vast are leading the race to build stations to replace the aging ISS. He discusses Amazon's struggle to launch its satellite constellation due to rocket delays, contrasted with SpaceX's efficiency. Zimmerman also reports on a milestone for SpaceX, as a single Falcon 9 booster successfully completed a record 35th flight. (15)Bob Zimmerman highlights discoveries by the James Webb Space Telescope, including a black hole 6 billion times the mass of the sun located 10 billion light-years away. He also describes a "flickering" quasar from the early universe that challenges current Big Bang theories. Finally, Zimmerman provides an update on the Curiosity rover as it travels through the "Grand" valley on its ascent of Mars. (16)Two name fixes: Joel Cotkin → Joel Kotkin (7, 8) — the urbanist/scholar's correct spelling Natalie Eacano → Natalie Ecanow (5, 6) — the FDD scholar's correct spelling

What if rooting for the Knicks and rallying behind a nation-state are powered by the exact same part of the human brain? On this episode of Bro History, Henry and Danny are joined by Frankie Donnelly from South Philly — and yes, Frankie is an AI research co-host powered by maneku (maneku.ai) — to break down one of the most fascinating and disturbing parallels in modern life: sports fandom as a mirror of nationalism. It starts with the Knicks' electric playoff run taking over New York City, spirals into a deleted newspaper article comparing the OKC Thunder to the state of Israel, and ends somewhere between Mussolini's Italy and a pep rally. They dig into why MSG unites Orthodox Jews and Arab New Yorkers in a way Congress never could, why Knicks fans sacking Philadelphia felt like a Mongolian conquest, and how the same psychological machinery that makes you weep over a playoff loss is the same thing authoritarian regimes have weaponized for centuries — from Hitler's Nuremberg rallies to the 1978 Argentine World Cup. Frankie drops facts, pulls receipts, and says the uncomfortable quiet part out loud — all in real time. That's maneku. Try it yourself at maneku.ai.

In this episode, we look at Mussolini and Fascist Italy in myth and memory and explore the regime through the eyes of Mussolini's daughter Edda, once described as the most dangerous woman in Europe. Featuring: Prof Paul Corner, University of Siena, and author Caroline Moorehead.

Buckle up, history buffs and democracy defenders. We're sitting down with Ruth Ben-Ghiat, professor of history and Italian studies at New York University, author of Strongman, and one of the leading experts on authoritarianism, to connect the dots between today's political chaos and the playbooks of history's most dangerous leaders. The parallels are less "ancient history" and more "this week's headlines," and Ruth is here to decode every one of them.Heidi and Joel also unpack the shifting electoral map, with a look at Senate battlegrounds, emerging gubernatorial contests, and what the current political climate means for voters heading into the next cycle.In this episode:How today's administration mirrors the tactics of historic autocratsThe anatomy of a cult of personality, and how they're builtThe "only I can do it" syndrome and why it resonatesThe TINA trap: why "There Is No Alternative" is so dangerousWhat the bunker mentality reveals about autocratic fearReligion, symbols, and grievance as tools of authoritarian powerThe warning signs of democratic erosion, and how fast it movesWhy American resilience may be the one thing autocrats can't plan forGuest:Ruth Ben-Ghiat - Twitter | Substack: LucidThe playbook for autocracy isn't buried in history books; it's playing out in real time.

En octubre de 1922, Italia vivía una profunda crisis política. Aprovechando la fragilidad del sistema parlamentario, Benito Mussolini lanza un desafío frontal al Estado: rodeado por 40.000 militantes fascistas en Nápoles, exige el poder y amenaza con tomar Roma por la fuerza. La Marcha sobre Roma, encabezada por hombres vestidos de negro y armados con porras, marca el inicio de un nuevo orden. El régimen que nace tras este golpe legal gobernará Italia con mano de hierro durante más de dos décadas. Mussolini, carismático y brutal, mezcla populismo y represión, exaltando el nacionalismo y prometiendo la restauración de la grandeza imperial. Aunque procede de la izquierda revolucionaria, acabará ejerciendo el poder desde la extrema derecha, con el respaldo de las élites económicas que ven en él la solución contra el avance del socialismo. El fascismo que él mismo bautiza se convierte en un modelo para otros regímenes autoritarios. Su influencia se extiende por Europa mientras su popularidad en Italia crece. Pero detrás del mito de Il Duce se esconde una maquinaria de control, propaganda y violencia que prepara el camino hacia la guerra.

Włodzimierz Czarzasty, marszałek Sejmu z Nowej Lewicy, ostro skrytykował zapowiedzi prezydenckich wet wobec ustawy o statusie osoby najbliższej. Jak mówił, trudno zrozumieć sprzeciw wobec rozwiązań dotyczących m.in. wspólnego rozliczania się, prawa do informacji medycznej, ubezpieczenia czy decyzji o pochówku, które są „podstawowymi prawami ludzi”. Czarzasty podkreślał, że projekt nie powinien budzić takich emocji i pytał, „komu przeszkadza” uporządkowanie tych kwestii. W ostrym tonie stwierdził, że polityka nie może blokować rozwiązań odpowiadających na realne potrzeby społeczne, a państwo powinno dawać obywatelom większą swobodę w regulowaniu relacji życiowych. Nie obyło się także bez komentowania sytuacji z prezydentem Ukrainy. Marszałek przypomina, że Orderem Orła Białego został uhonorowany np. Mussolini - i nikt mu odznaczenia nie odebrał. Pyta także, czy w polskiej polityce standardem stanie się dyplomacja niczym "ustawki w lesie"?

En los primeros meses de 1940, Italia enfrentó un asedio económico debido al bloqueo aliado sobre importaciones vitales, especialmente el carbón alemán, pero Mussolini rechazó las propuestas británicas de intercambiar carbón por armamento para mantener su compromiso con Hitler y su "honor" político. Tras la promesa de Ribbentrop de suministrar carbón por ferrocarril, el dictador consolidó su decisión de intervenir al lado de Alemania, en una guerra paralela, mediante la cual buscaba autonomía y hegemonía en el Mediterráneo.

No episódio 56 do Giro Histórico, o nosso "camisa 10" Willian Spengler nos leva a um campo de batalha pouco explorado nas narrativas tradicionais da Segunda Guerra Mundial: o continente africano, especificamente a Etiópia. Você sabia que a primeira vitória aliada na Grande Guerra aconteceu em solo etíope? Acompanhe como este povo milenar, que nunca foi formalmente colonizado, resistiu bravamente à ocupação fascista de Benito Mussolini. O Will detalha a luta dos "Patriotas Etíopes", a guerra de guerrilha em Addis Abeba e o papel fundamental do imperador Haile Selassie na denúncia dos crimes de guerra italianos, incluindo o uso ilegal de armas químicas como o gás mostarda. Descubra como a libertação da Etiópia, em 1941, não foi apenas uma vitória moral, mas um marco estratégico que permitiu às forças aliadas conter o avanço do Eixo no Egito e enfrentar a famosa "Raposa do Deserto", Erwin Rommel. É uma aula de história sobre resistência, soberania e a importância da África no cenário global do conflito.

A história europeia contemporânea é repleta de reviravoltas singulares, mas poucas trajetórias são tão inesperadas quanto a de Alessandra Mussolini. Neta do ditador Benito Mussolini e sobrinha da consagrada atriz Sophia Loren, Alessandra construiu uma vida pública marcada por dualidades profundas. Após transitar pela carreira artística e musical, ingressou na política partidária na década de 1990, defendendo historicamente o legado familiar e aliando-se a coalizões de direita no Parlamento italiano e no Parlamento Europeu. Contudo, os anos recentes trouxeram uma revisão radical em suas visões de mundo. Afastada dos cargos públicos, ela surpreendeu a opinião pública ao alinhar-se a pautas associadas à esquerda progressista e tornar-se defensora da comunidade LGBTQ+. Em 2026, sua jornada ganhou um capítulo definitivo no entretenimento de massa com sua vitória no reality show Grande Fratello VIP. Neste vídeo, a Brasil Paralelo analisa como a cultura pop e a espetacularização da vida privada operam na sociedade moderna, possuindo a capacidade de mitigar a densidade dos fatos históricos em prol do carisma individual.

Hai mai notato che il 2 giugno in Italia è tutto chiuso? Niente scuola, niente uffici, banche serrate e, per le strade delle grandi città, militari in alta uniforme, bande musicali e perfino aerei che lasciano scie tricolori nel cielo. Ma cosa si celebra esattamente in questa data? In questo articolo scoprirai la storia della Festa della Repubblica, il vocabolario legato alla storia italiana e qualche curiosità sorprendente. La Festa della Repubblica Spiegata Bene Il 2 giugno è una delle date più importanti del calendario italiano: è la Festa della Repubblica. Ma dietro questa giornata festiva c'è una storia affascinante, fatta di re, referendum e momenti che hanno cambiato per sempre il volto del Paese. L'Italia Prima del 1946: un Paese Ferito Per capire cosa è successo il 2 giugno 1946, bisogna fare un passo indietro. Anzi, parecchi passi indietro, fino al momento della nascita del Paese. Un'Italia Monarchica Dal 1861, l'anno dell'Unità d'Italia, fino al 1946, l'Italia era una monarchia. Questo significa che il capo dello Stato non era un presidente eletto dal popolo, ma un re. La famiglia reale era quella dei Savoia, una dinastia molto antica che aveva governato il Piemonte per secoli. Nota linguistica: in italiano si dice "i Savoia" usando il cognome al plurale per indicare l'intera famiglia. Funziona così anche con altre famiglie famose: "i Medici", "i Borgia", "i Visconti". Se invece si dice "la famiglia Rossi", si usa "Rossi" al singolare. Il Ventennio Fascista e la Guerra Nel 1922 sale al potere Benito Mussolini e inizia il ventennio fascista. Il re dell'epoca, Vittorio Emanuele III, invece di opporsi a Mussolini, gli affida il governo. Mussolini porta l'Italia nella Seconda Guerra Mondiale a fianco della Germania nazista. Il risultato è un disastro totale: città bombardate, milioni di morti, fame, distruzione. L'Italia esce dalla guerra in ginocchio, e molti italiani si chiedono se la colpa sia anche del re, che non ha fermato Mussolini. Espressione utile: quando un Paese è "in ginocchio", significa che si trova in una situazione drammatica, di grande debolezza. Si può usare anche per le persone: "Dopo quel periodo difficile, era in ginocchio". L'Abdicazione di Vittorio Emanuele III A maggio del 1946, sentendo che il vento sta cambiando, Vittorio Emanuele III decide di abdicare, cioè di rinunciare al trono, a favore di suo figlio Umberto II. Spera così di salvare la monarchia, dando un volto nuovo e meno compromesso al regno. Come vedremo, però, non funzionerà. Il Referendum del 2 Giugno 1946: Monarchia o Repubblica? Si arriva così alla data chiave. Il 2 giugno 1946 (e in realtà anche il 3 giugno, perché si votò per due giorni) gli italiani vengono chiamati alle urne per decidere una questione fondamentale: continuare con la monarchia o diventare una repubblica? Che Cos'è un Referendum Questo tipo di votazione si chiama referendum, e in italiano si pronuncia proprio come si scrive: re-fe-rén-dum. È una parola latina che significa letteralmente "cose da riferire", cioè "cose da chiedere al popolo". I Risultati del Voto La Repubblica vince con circa il 54% dei voti, contro il 46% della monarchia. Non un trionfo schiacciante, ma una vittoria chiara: circa 12,7 milioni di voti contro 10,7 milioni. OpzionePercentualeVotiRepubblicaCirca 54%≈ 12,7 milioniMonarchiaCirca 46%≈ 10,7 milioni Il 13 giugno 1946 Umberto II lascia l'Italia e parte in esilio per il Portogallo, dove si stabilirà nella cittadina di Cascais e dove vivrà fino alla morte, senza mai più rimettere piede in Italia. Suo padre Vittorio Emanuele III, invece, era già andato in esilio in Egitto subito dopo l'abdicazione di maggio. Curiosità: Umberto II è stato re per soli 34 giorni. Proprio per questo viene ricordato con il soprannome di "il Re di Maggio". Un'Italia Spaccata in Due Il voto rivelò un'Italia divisa geograficamente. Il Nord votò massicciamente per la Repubblica, mentre il Sud preferì la monarchia. A Napoli, addirittura, la monarchia prese quasi l'80% dei voti. Da quel giorno nacque anche la famosa espressione "Regno del Sud", usata scherzosamente per indicare le regioni meridionali più affezionate alla corona. La Grande Novità: le Donne Votano alle Elezioni Politiche C'è un aspetto fondamentale che spesso viene dimenticato: il 2 giugno 1946 è stata la prima volta nella storia d'Italia in cui le donne hanno potuto votare in un'elezione nazionale e politica. Quasi un Secolo Senza Diritto di Voto Per quasi un secolo dall'Unità d'Italia, le donne italiane non avevano avuto diritto di voto: metà della popolazione non poteva decidere nulla del proprio Paese. In realtà, le donne italiane avevano già votato qualche mese prima, il 10 marzo 1946, ma alle elezioni amministrative, cioè per scegliere i sindaci dei loro comuni. Il 2 giugno, però, fu la prima volta che parteciparono a una consultazione nazionale. E parteciparono in massa: circa 13 milioni di donne andarono a votare. Per scoprire le figure femminili che hanno segnato la storia del Paese, puoi leggere la guida sulle donne italiane importanti. La Curiosità del Rossetto In vista del voto, alle donne fu raccomandato di non mettere il rossetto. Il motivo? La scheda elettorale doveva essere chiusa con la saliva, un po' come si fa con le buste delle lettere. Le autorità temevano che il rossetto potesse lasciare tracce sulla scheda, e qualsiasi segno di riconoscimento l'avrebbe resa nulla, cioè non valida. Il Corriere della Sera pubblicò addirittura un articolo intitolato "Senza rossetto nella cabina elettorale", consigliando alle donne di portare con sé il rossetto e di metterlo solo dopo aver votato. Come Si Festeggia Oggi il 2 Giugno Il 2 giugno in Italia è festa nazionale: scuole chiuse, uffici chiusi, e molte persone ne approfittano per fare un ponte. Questa giornata è strettamente legata al funzionamento delle istituzioni: per approfondire, puoi consultare la guida sul sistema politico italiano. Vocabolario utile: "fare un ponte" non significa costruire un ponte, ma collegare un giorno festivo al weekend per prendersi più giorni di vacanza. Per esempio: "Il 2 giugno è di mercoledì? Allora prendo le ferie giovedì e venerdì e mi faccio un ponte fino a domenica!". La Parata Militare ai Fori Imperiali L'evento più importante si svolge a Roma, lungo i Fori Imperiali. C'è una grande parata militare alla presenza del Presidente della Repubblica, dei membri del Governo e di tante autorità. Sfilano i militari, i carabinieri, la polizia, i vigili del fuoco e la protezione civile. Le Frecce Tricolori Il momento più spettacolare e fotografato è quello delle Frecce Tricolori: aerei militari che disegnano nel cielo le tre strisce della bandiera italiana, verde, bianca e rossa. Inoltre, quel giorno è possibile visitare gratuitamente i Giardini del Quirinale, cioè i giardini della residenza ufficiale del Presidente della Repubblica. Un'occasione unica, perché di solito sono chiusi al pubblico. Per altre informazioni di questo tipo, puoi consultare la guida sulle curiosità sull'Italia.

Si celebra la Festa della Repubblica, che ricorda il referendum del 2 giugno 1946 con cui gli italiani scelsero di trasformare l'Italia da monarchia a repubblica. Chi È Stato l'Ultimo Re d'Italia? L'ultimo re d'Italia è stato Umberto II, soprannominato "il Re di Maggio" perché regnò per soli 34 giorni. Dopo il referendum andò in esilio in Portogallo, dove visse fino alla morte. È Vero che le Donne Votarono per la Prima Volta il 2 Giugno 1946? Per quanto riguarda le elezioni nazionali, sì: il 2 giugno 1946 fu la prima volta. Le donne italiane avevano però già votato il 10 marzo 1946 alle elezioni amministrative locali, per scegliere i sindaci dei comuni. Perché alle Donne Fu Consigliato di Non Mettere il Rossetto? Perché la scheda elettorale andava chiusa con la saliva. Il rossetto avrebbe potuto lasciare un segno sulla scheda, e qualsiasi segno di riconoscimento l'avrebbe resa nulla, cioè non valida. Come Si Festeggia Oggi il 2 Giugno? Con una grande parata militare a Roma, lungo i Fori Imperiali, alla presenza del Presidente della Repubblica. Il momento più spettacolare è il sorvolo delle Frecce Tricolori, che colorano il cielo di verde, bianco e rosso. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Quiz", "name": "Test sulla Festa della Repubblica Italiana", "description": "Quiz interattivo sulla Festa della Repubblica del 2 giugno con 10 domande sulla storia italiana e sul vocabolario della politica.", "educationalLevel": "Principiante A1-A2", "learningResourceType": "Quiz", "inLanguage": "it", "hasPart": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "Che cosa si celebra in Italia il 2 giugno?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "La nascita della Repubblica" } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "In una monarchia, chi guida lo Stato?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Un re o una regina" } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Che cosa significa il verbo abdicare?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Rinunciare al trono" } }, { "@type": "Question",...

With the rise of Benito Mussolini (and, by extension, fascism) in Italy, the colony of Eritrea was hurled into Modern Age. Rapid industrialization and development of infrastructure meant that the capital city of Asmara's population more than doubled within a decidedly short span of time. But the grinding gears of history had other plans for the colony. Find out what happened next in Part Two of Italian Eritrea!

The rise of the far right is the defining political crisis of our time. But are we analyzing it correctly? Suzi speaks with David Ost about his book Red Pill Politics: Demystifying the Far Right from Fascism to Right-Wing Populism. David argues that by focusing on whether Trump, Orban, or Netanyahu is or isn't a fascist, we're missing the deeper question: what political species do fascism and right-wing populism share? And what does understanding that species tell us about why the left keeps losing workers it once counted as its core constituency? It's a sweeping comparative political analysis that argues fascism and today's right-wing populism are not separate phenomena but two expressions of the same underlying political species, that of the Red Pill (a loose acronym of Right-wing, Exclusionary Nationalist-Democratic, Populist Illiberalism). From the Boulanger Affair in 1880s France to Tucker Carlson, from Mussolini's syndicalist unions to Orban's welfare chauvinism, the radical right has won by offering workers something — economic recognition, belonging, enemies to hate — that the neoliberal center-left abandoned along with NAFTA and the Third Way. David ends with a diagnosis of the left's own failures and a prescription for what it would take to turn things around. Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.

There's an ancient Roman column in Chicago hidden in plain sight near Soldier Field. It was a gift given by Italian Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini during the 1933-1934 Chicago World's Fair, commemorating a daring transatlantic flight to the fair by Italian Air Marshal Italo Balbo. In a time when controversial monuments get removed, why does this one still stand?

Italian tennis is going crazy and it begs its own special show. For the 3rd straight year I chatted in the Mussolini era auxiliary media center with the Italian journalist with his own outlet UBI Tennis- the prolific Ubaldo Scanagatta and it was a enjoyable deep dive on Novak, the Paolini Errani controversy thats brewing, and the moment Jannik Sinner is having, and the Gaudenzi reign at the top of the ATP. We also discussed the Italian Open and how it's grown- for better and for worse. No one knows more about tennis than Ubaldo and I absolutely love the guy. Please excuse some audio roughness as we were in tough conditions.
