The former camp of Fossoli in northern Italy was established in
1942 by the Royal Italian Army as a camp for prisoners of war,
later becoming a Nazi-Fascist concentration and transit camp for
political opponents, Jews and forced labourers. After the war it
became a Catholic community for orphans and a camp for refugees
from the former Italian territories of Istria until 1970. A complex
system of memory and heritage stems from the legacy of the former
camp: its remains, the Museum and Monument to the Political and
Racial Deportee by architects BBPR, and the synagogues of Carpi.
The Fondazione Fossoli, created in Carpi in 1996, manages this
legacy with the purpose of preserving and transmitting the
historical memory of the Fossoli camp. Linking together the history
of the Holocaust, the resistance to Nazi-Fascism and the political
and civic commitment that inspired the birth of the Italian
Republic after the dictatorship and the war, Fossoli lies at the
very core of Italy's contemporary cultural memory. The essays in
this volume analyse, from different disciplinary perspectives, the
material and immaterial heritage that constitutes a rich and
articulated memorial system today. Texts by Lorenzo Bertucelli,
Matteo Cassani Simonetti, Pierluigi Castagnetti, Paolo Faccio,
Robert S. C. Gordon, Viviana Gravano, Giovanni Leoni, Marzia Luppi,
Roberta Mira, Daniele Salerno, Andrea Ugolini and Patrizia Violi.
