Luigi Federzoni, Standardbearer of italianità from Liberal to Post-Fascist Italy
Descrizione del progetto

Drawing on collections in six Roman archives, I will research the political and cultural activities of Luigi Federzoni, a leading political and cultural figure under Fascism and a political advisor to Umberto di Savoia in the early years of the republic. My biography of Federzoni will contribute to our understanding of elite politics and culture from 1900 to the 1960s.
