Modern Italy's Founding Fathers offers a fresh perspective on the
genesis of the Italian republic as viewed through the efforts of
its three most influential leaders: Christian Democrat Alcide De
Gasperi, Socialist Pietro Nenni and Communist Palmiro Togliatti. In
concise, accessible prose, this work demonstrates how De Gasperi -
the Republic's inaugural prime minister from 1945 to 1953 - and his
fellow statesmen's shared experience of Fascist oppression, belief
in popular sovereignty, and ability to compromise despite deep
ideological differences, enabled the creation of Italy's post-war
republic. This path-breaking collective biography traces the
genesis of the Italian republic, commencing with the overthrow of
Mussolini in 1943 and concluding with the death of De Gasperi in
1954. Drawing on the speeches, writings and personal papers of the
three protagonists, on Italian and U.S. archives, on contemporary
memoirs and on secondary scholarship, Steven F. White demonstrates
how these leaders forged political practices and customs which
continue to define Italian parliamentary life to the present day.
Examining the interplay of personalities, leadership styles, ideas
and political context, this study is a vital text for any student
of modern Italy and, more broadly, of Cold War Europe.
