Reportage e giornalismo italiano nel corso della Grande Guerra
Get PDFAfter William H. Russell, the Irish reporter for The Times of London and Ferdinando Petruccelli della Gattina, the forerunner of American reportage and correspondent for La Presse – defined by Indro Montanelli as “the most brilliant Italian journalist of the nineteenth century”– the twentieth century saw protagonists Luigi Barzini and Arnaldo Fraccaroli, both war correspondents for Corriere della Sera. These two correspondents are in the focus of this study that seeks to trace the career path, the style and the descriptive accuracy of the most important Italian reporters on that terrible occasion.
Barzini, who had already witnessed some conflicts from 1899 for the newspaper from Solferino street – and continued to describe the wars until 1921 – had a great capacity for work that allowed him to write his articles at night after a day spent at the front. Reports, rich in detail and wrapped in an aura of unmatched descriptions, were written by an exceptional journalist, whose value was
Contemporary Bulgaria. Political and Economic Perspectives after the European Adhesion
No full textThe last decade has seen a relentless succession of economic crises, political and social factors that have distorted, in some cases, well-established diplomatic relations and development prospects, for better or for worse. These changes have had their greatest impact in the former socialist bloc, and particularly in the Balkans. Bulgaria, according to many studies, is part of this context and is equally conditioned by these considerations. The country, in fact, has gone through in recent years a strong political and social crisis which, with many difficulties, has led to a total economic revolution and a substantial progress in the integration into euro – Atlantic structures.The last decade has seen a relentless succession of economic crises, political and social factors that have distorted, in

La Repubblica di Weimar nei documenti del Servizio Informazioni Militare
No full textLa Repubblica di Weimar fu un periodo ricco di contraddizioni tra la Grande Guerra e l’avvento del Terzo Reich. Il sistema di democrazia parlamentare che riuscì a realizzare fu altresì sorprendente, non solo perché nacque pochi mesi dopo la fine di un conflitto mondiale da cui la Germania era uscita sconfitta ma, in particolar modo, per la portata di trasformazioni politiche e sociali che la caratterizzarono. La ricca storiografia sull'argomento testimonia l’importanza degli eventi che caratterizzarono il 1933, anno spartiacque della storia d’Europa e del mondo. Ciò a cui mira questo saggio è “ricostruire” l’idea che lo Stato Maggiore italiano aveva sulla Germania, alla vigilia dell’ascesa di Adolf Hitler. Attraverso le carte del SIM è possibile cogliere gli aspetti positivi della Repubblica di Weimar, ma anche quegli elementi di forte criticità derivanti dalle clausole penalizzanti del Trattato di pace che costituiranno la base ideologica e sociale della successiva ascesa del nazionalsocialismo. Lo studio si avvale dei cospicui documenti del “Servizio Informazioni Militare” del Regio Esercito che in data 2 gennaio 1933 vengono integrati in una relazione sullo stato complessivo delle forze armate tedesche. I sette fascicoli analizzati nel volume ci aiutano a comprendere l’ordinamento della Reichwehr, le forme di reclutamento e le scuole militari, la dottrina tattica e l’addestramento, le forze di polizia e le associazioni varie esistenti nel 1933, una fonte del tutto nuova nell'interpretazione di una Repubblica di Weimar ormai al tramonto
Germany’s Next War: Assumptions and Military Strategies of the German Army in 1905
No full textThis volume is the result of an international conference held at Sapienza University in Rome on June 20 and 21, 2013, as the final stage of the PRIN (Progetto di rilevante interesse nazionale) project “Empires and Nations from the 18th to the 20th century”, during which scholars from all over the world—academics, specialists, young researchers, PhD students and post-doctorates—confronted diverse, but connected, topics on the relations between multinational empires and the idea of the nation. In this way, the reality of the historical empires and national states was represented, and concepts such as identity, nationality, and sovereignty analyzed. The first part of this work is dedicated to the analysis of the origins of nation-states in the context of the multinational Habsburg, Ottoman and Tsarist empires, while the second pays particular attention to the issue of national minorities, which followed the dissolution of the great empires. The third part is related to national identity and focuses on art and culture by presenting artists, painters, writers and intellectuals who had played key roles in the formation of their national identities. Such pioneers include Hungarians, Romanians, Serbs, Georgians, Chinese, and Brazilians. Specific sections are dedicated to theoretical approaches and concepts such as imperialism, geopolitics, nationality, and regionalism, and to the analysis of religious and gender issues

Il supporto delle donne italiane ai feriti durante la Grande Guerra
No full textDuring World War hospitals in the rear and not only filled with nurses committed to providing assistance and relief to wounded soldiers and veterans from the terrible periods spent in the trenches. According to some calculations, in 1917 the volunteers of the Red Cross were about 10 thousand to which we must add many belonging to other associations.
During the First World War more than 7,000 volunteer nurses were present in 204 field hospitals of the Red Cross, managing a total of 30,000 beds. Despite early difficulties in being included in a field, the military, predominantly male, the volunteer nurses in the thirties were in Ethiopia, Somalia, Abyssinia, Libya and Eritrea, as well as in during the Spanish Civil War. Later it was crucial the role of aid in all the theatres of World War II, especially on hospital ships (among which we can mention the steamer Tuscany and Aquileia). Eighteen Red Cross fell by armed conflict, including two in a concentration camp and two shots from the Wehrmacht
