A new history of Fascist Italy 1915-1945

我将受企鹅出版社（英文）和蒙达多利出版社（意大利语）的委托，写一本关于法西斯独裁政权社会史的书。我将利用积累的研究成果和罗马档案馆的新材料，展示普通意大利人是如何生活在一个号称极权主义的暴政下的。事实上，墨索里尼的政权保留了许多长期的历史。家庭、庇护关系、地方主义、一种特殊的天主教，所有这些都制约着生活。在arc资助的墨索里尼传记获得国际成功的基础上，我将再次展示意大利历史中微妙而模糊的人性。

I shall write a book, commissioned by Penguin in English and Mondadori in Italian, on the social history of the Fascist dictatorship. Utilising accumulated research and new material which shall be worked through from the archives in Rome, I shall show how ordinary Italians lived under a tyranny which purported to be totalitarian. Actually much long-term history survived in Mussolini's regime. The family, patron-client networks, localism, a special sort of Catholicism, all conditioned life. Building on the international success of my ARC-funded biography of Mussolini, I shall again display the nuance and ambiguous humanity of Italian history.
