#922–03. Trentino as seen by a Socialist – Notes and News by Benito Mussolini

$10.00

Written during his stay in Trentino, where he had been sent by the Socialist Party to collaborate with Cesare Battisti, this is Mussolini’s first truly “political” book. As a keen observer of local reality and culture, he gives us an unprecedented insight into this land. Mussolini here also addresses issues such as the language question and the Pangermanist doctrines. Thus he writes: “[The author] observed, noticed, collected. His task was to describe Trentino as it is today in its linguistic, economic, and political situation, to inform the general public that has false ideas or ignores or is lulled into blissful illusions that reality unfortunately belies.” Softcover. 76 pages.
