La normale eccezionalità : La mafia, il banditismo, il terrorismo e ancora la mafia
No full textThe story of legislative exceptionality in Italian history represents
a constant, almost a normality. The essay insists on this normal exceptionality, trying to trace it in the events of the apparto
repressive against the terrorism of the seventies and in that used for
fight the mafia of the following decades. Here it is assumed that the connection
between these two phenomena is inseparable: without the fight against terrorism
there would not have been the mafia; both in the legal field and in
that of investigative, penitentiary, political and administrative institutions.
In turn, the emergency legislation against terrorism inherits,
as we will try to see, the characters of the fight against banditry that, especially in
Sicily, bloody, for almost ten years, the end of the post-war period

Qui chi non terrorizza si ammala di terrore
No full textBetween the winter and spring of 2020, a war was fought around us against an invisible and silent enemy.
Arrived in a breath from a distant country, thanks to a world without distances and time, a virus dramatically changed the life and destiny of millions of women and men in many nations of the world, including ours. Terror took possession, like a disease, of the body and of the words; the fear of a contagion that seemed to leave no way out upset private and public habits and rituals; it seemed that nothing was the same as before. Pain and death had once again become a daily experience, while for years they had remained strangers, just a show that took place far away from us
La Sicilia e gli anni Cinquanta. Il decennio dell’economia
No full textFrom this prevailing of the political character of the Sicilian question and from the ambiguous mix of purported scientific analysis and ideological instrumentalization, between militant research and moral denunciation, the sacrifice of the history of Sicily was consumed for the benefit of history of ideas and imagery about Sicily. This certainly does not want to delegitimize the wealth of knowledge accumulated by a long intellectual tradition, which sometimes expressed important civil and political concerns, as much as recovering and giving historical depth to a history that has been more a subject of controversy than a field of investigatio
Lampi sulla Sicilia. Ovvero se si può fare della fotografia una fonte storica e una risorsa economica
Full text linkThe history of photography is intertwined with that of Sicily, and the island over the years has produced a very large number of world-famous photographers. It is therefore possible to trace a political and social history of photography in Sicily, and to transform it into a source of extraordinary interest for historians and also in an economic resource with very positive effects
L'Illuminismo senza lumi di Leonardo Sciascia
No full textThis work of political and cultural history highlights the context of the early sixties in which Leonardo Sciascia wrote The Council of Egypt, in particular the clear position and criticism of the writer in charge of the Sicilian region led by Silvio Milazzo and the publication de The Gattopardo of Tomasi di Lampedusa. Moreover, here the relationship between Sciascia and the new progressive Sicilian historiography of those years is rebuilt, its initial support and then abandonment; opting for a metaphorical historical paradigm of immobility and defeat
Bande, partiti e Costituzione. La costruzione della politica moderna in Sicilia
No full textIn this essay we will deal precisely with the different faces that this political history takes on, always oscillating between revolution, constitution, violence, armed parties, bandits and, then, mafiosi
Nel crepuscolo della repubblica dei partiti. Nilde Iotti e la Commissione bicamerale per le riforme istituzionali del 1993
No full textBetween the general elections of April 5, 1992 and those of March 27, 1994, which ended early the eleventh legislature, the shortest in the history of the republic, a political crisis took place which to many appeared to be the end of a "first" and beginning of a "second" republic.
In this twilight of the republic of parties, the communist Nilde Iotti was called, by virtue of her political authority and ideal continuity, to the presidency of the bicameral commission for the reform of the constitution. While completing her work, Iotti was aware that the last opportunity was being wasted to defend what remained of the republic of parties
Intellettuali siciliani fascisti e antifascisti
No full textOnce the empire was over, with the fascist conquest of Ethiopia in 1936, imperialists had to be done. To drag the country into this miraculous palingenesis, fascism strengthened its alliance with the Church, emancipated itself from the diarchy with the Crown, concentrated military command on itself, sought a new constitutional formula of the State that would allow it to "last", he set up the project of a new state of the regions, started the legal system of racist and anti-Semitic inequality, abandoned what remained of the legality of the Statute replacing it with the principle of the will of the leader, tried to return to radical origins by assaulting the latifundium and finally set off on a new world war by breaking with the League of Nations, with the allies of the Great War, to move to a steel pact with the enemy of the time but now faithful ally: Nazi Germany.
The Sicilian intellectuals, to whom the pages of this work are dedicated, threw themselves body and soul into this political and cultural enterprise, presenting themselves as the true interpreters of the new imperial Italy: creators of public opinion, capable of cultural hegemony, able to absolve to the task of organic intellectuals of the fascist party
