In a cultural context in which historical matters have become a simple merchandise, Italy is also an interesting example of political use of History with a clear and ambitious strategic purpose with an European dimension: to redefine the legitimacy of those big transformations of contemporary times, specifically those included between French Revolution, the October Revolution and the antifascist resistance movement. In this sense, the work by the historian Renzo de Felice is still object of controversy and the starting point to an intense ideological debate.
