Bringing together scholars from the Italian and English-speaking worlds, Bosworth and Dogliani''s edited book reviews the history of the memory and representation of Fascism after 1945. Ranging in their study from patriotic monuments to sado-masochistic films, the essays here collected ask how and why and when Mussolini''s dictatorship mattered after the event, and so provide a fascinating study of the relationship between a traumatic past and the changing present and future.
