    Biagio Salvemini, ‘Interstitial’ spaces, markets and merchants in the central Mediterranean: three case-studies on the South of Italy in the early-modern period The essay tries to shed light on the vast mediterranean world traditionally confined, by the historians, in the lowest level of the economy and of the exchanges. The three case studies regard 1. the organisation and transformation in the long period of the countryside of one of the southern regions deeply involved in the international market, the Apulia; 2. the “scattered ports” of the west coast of Calabria in the XVIIIth century, in which the different functions of the classic commercial towns are not at all absent, but are distributed among a variety of localities, not all situated on the seaside; 3. the XVIIIth century central-apulian “merchant-mariners”, who, putting in contact the provincial specialised economy with the international market, avoid the intermediation of the big commercial companies based in England or France. In the three cases, this ‘interstitial’ world shows a high level of complexity, sophistication, flexibility, in contrast with the generalisations widely adopted even by the standard professional discourse on the past and present of the Mediterranean sea

    In questo studio vengono analizzati l’impegno antifascista del Salvemini in esilio e i sistemi fascisti di controllo e repressione del dissenso all’estero. L’esperienza salveminiana mostra la consuetudine fascista all’uso della rete diplomatica per gestire un capillare servizio di spionaggio, che grande attenzione rivolgeva all’attività dei fuorusciti. L’opera di Salvemini, relativa agli anni trascorsi negli Stati Uniti, restituisce una mappa della percezione del fascismo all’estero, ma anche della risonanza dei suoi miti nell’opinione pubblica internazionale.This article analyses Salvemini’s anti-Fascist commitment during his exile and the Fascist systems of control and repression of dissent abroad. Salvemini’s experience illustrates the Fascist use of diplomatic networks in its running of a widespread espionage service which focused its attention on the activities of political exiles. Salvemini’s works, written during the years spent in the United States, gives us a map of the perception of Fascism abroad, and also an idea of the spread of Fascist myths in international public opinion

    ‘I... Should Never Forget What You Did for Me.’ Letters of Famous Russian Emigre Historian Nikolai Ottokar to Italian Scholar Gaetano Salvemini

    No full text
    This article is a publication of letters of Nikolai Petrovich Ottokar (1884-1957), Russian emigre historian, specialist in the history of the Florentine Republic, professor at the University of Florence, to his colleague and opponent Gaetano Salvemini (1873-1957), established authority in Italian historiography, fervent antifascist, and emigrant as well. The author feels that the historiography implies that there was a certain strain between two historians that stemmed in Ottokar's harsh criticism of Salvemini’s concept of the history of late Duecento era Florence, which he proposed in 1899. Also Ottokar succeeded Salvemini at the Department of Contemporary History after Salvemini was expelled by the fascists from the University of Florence. The scholarship cites Ottokar’s manifest ‘loyalty’ to the fascist regime in Italy, including his likely party membership. It recalls his cooperation in a number of scientific projects of the fascist era, for instance, the Enciclopedia italiana. The author feels that the texts published below allow to correct this outlook and also to add several significant details to the research field. First, as follows from the texts below, the relationship between two historians was clearly not strained, but rather friendly. Secondly, the published letters add a number of interesting details to the biography of the Russian scientist. It should be noted that the Italian scientist played an important role in Ottokar’s life in 1924-1925. Apparently, Salvemini helped Ottokar to settle in Florence, where he emigrated from Perm in 1921. Apparently, Ottokar began his work at the University of Florence at the instigation of the Italian scientist. This, by the way, can testify, albeit indirectly, of a rather longer acquaintance of two scientists, which could have begun in the early 1910s, during N.P. Ottokar’s international trip. Letters are published from autographs stored in the fond of Gaetano Salvemini in the Istituto storico Toscana della Resistenza in Italian and in Russian translation by the author accomplished with permission of the Comitato Salvemini.</jats:p
