The aim of this book is to reconstruct the violent nature of the
March on Rome and to emphasise its significance in demarcating a
real break in the country's history and the beginning of the
Fascist dictatorship. This aspect of the March has long been
obscured: first by the Fascists' celebratory project, and then by
the ironic and reductive interpretation of the event put forward by
anti-Fascists. This volume focuses on the role and purpose of
Fascist political violence from its origins. In doing so, it
highlights the conflictual nature of the March by illustrating the
violent impact it had on Italian institutions as well as the
importance of a debate on this political turning point in Italy and
beyond. The volume also examines how the event crucially
contributed to the construction of a dictatorial political regime
in Italy in the weeks following Mussolini's appointment as head of
the government. Originally published in Italian, this book fills a
notable gap in current critical discussion surrounding the March in
the English language.
