L' "Uomo nuovo" nella politica europea tra le due guerre

Abstract

This essay examines the centrality of the ‘new man’ theme in the fascist and pro-fascist move­ment and regime of the interwar period. In par­ticular, it emphasizes the link between the rapid and massive social and economic changes affect­ing Europe since the end of the 1800s and the attempt to provide a policy answer to the fear of moral decadence and physical degeneration, not­ing that these same transformations gave birth to large sectors of public opinion.
