Description

Preface by Luigi Antonini.

Modigliani (b. Livorno 1872 - d. Roma 1947) was an attorney and politician, a Socialist Party Deputy, and brother of Amedeo Modigliani, the painter. His position as an anti-fascist was close to that of Gaetano Salvemini. He represented one of the parties in the civil trial for the murder of Giacomo Matteotti, the socialist deputy who was outspoken in his opposition to Mussolini, and killed for it. In January 1947, Modigliani became president of the Socialist Party of Italian Workers.

The publication of this work in the U.S. at the time of Mussolini's downfall and near the end of the war reflects the continuing significance of socialist deputy Matteotti's assassination by the fascists, a traumatic event of two decades before that riveted Italy for years.
