    The essay deals with the relationship between nationalism and Catholic religion in Alessandro Manzoni’s work in the light of his comparison with Charles-Léonard Simonde de Sismondi’s Histoire des républiques italiennes du Moyen Âge. It attempts to reopen the old dossier on the nature of the Italian «national character» by shedding light on the threefold cultural conflict that the publication of the Histoire sparked in the future author of The Betrothed. The hypothesis is that this cultural conflict spanned three dimensions of Manzoni’s intellectual evolution: the correction of the Enlightenment of his youth, the correction of the liberal judgement on the Catholic religion and the correction of the implications that this judgement carried on the evaluation of the national character of the Italians. Through a precise analysis of the Osservazioni sulla morale cattolica, the boundaries of Alessandro Manzoni’s patriotism are sketched in the light of his peculiar Catholicism, noting the precarious resolution of the author’s political aporias in the mobilisation of a Catholic universalism that rejects the earthly dimension in order to ground human action in a transcendent perspective

    Sovrani del mondo. Alle origini dell’accusa di complotto ebraico

    Conspiracy theories about the Jews endlessly flourish around us. Usually, they have been studied in connection with the notorious Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a forged document of the beginning of 20th century. Interpreted as a myth or a paranoid style of thought, denunciation of world Jews conspiracy has been considered as an inveterate, quite a-historical inclination to misinterpret reality. As a result, little attention has been paid to the origins of the hoax and to his context of appearance. This essay wants to scrutinise the conditions of emergency of the world Jewish conspiracy as a technique to perturb public opinion. It does so in retracing the context of the invention of world conspiracy theory about the Jews in 19th century from a varied complex of hybridization, both cultural and technical. From myth to denunciation, this paper aims to enlighten the transmedia process that produces conspiracy theory, an un- tangled history of mass journalism, plagiarism from fiction to non-fiction products, transmigration of iconographic items as well as textual evidences. Following this approach, the creators of Jews conspiracy theory as well as their modus operandi are debunked and the identity of the author of the «Rabbi’s Speech» at the cemetery of Prague – a forged document and main source of the Protocols – is detected

    Piccolo lessico storico

    Secondo il filosofo tedesco Ernst Cassirer, essere storico vuol dire prima di tutto imparare a leggere. A leggere una lingua, a decifrare un mondo, a mappare un universo mentale: quello degli uomini e delle donne del passato. Contrariamente ai luoghi comuni, dunque, la storia non è solo una questione di date, ma è anche una questione di parole. Johann Chapoutot ne ha selezionate un centinaio per sensibilizzare il grande pubblico nei confronti di una disciplina che sta al cuore del dibattito d’idee contemporaneo, e che si è costruita come una scienza, con la sua epistemologia (la storiografia), ma una scienza molto letteraria, il cui oggetto non è nulla di meno che il tempo
