I intend to complete my book project titled The Climate of Fascism: Science, Environment, and Empire in Liberal and Fascist Italy (1860–1960). The book is the first history of Italian imperialism from the perspective of environmental history and the history of science. It examines the logic of Italian colonialism through the lens of explorers, geographers, agronomists, and meteorologists concerned with water resources. Additionally, I intend to begin research for my next research project, tentatively titled Fascist Legacies: Italian Imperialism, Climatology, and the Origins of the F.A.O. (1905–1960), which investigates the continuities between Italian imperialism, colonial climatology, and the origin of international development. I ask how Italian agronomists, climate scientists, and members of the International Institute of Agriculture evolved from colonial officials into experts in international development in the postwar period. Did the legacy of Fascist imperialism continue in the scientific practices of the F.A.O., the institution that replaced the International Institute of Agriculture, as more countries followed the decolonization process that began in Africa with the Italian colonies of Ethiopia, Libya, and Somalia?
