Il popolo di poeti i uomo integrale. The Vision of Society, Man and Culture in the Doctrine of Fascism

Summary/Abstract: This article analyses the development of the doctrine of fascism and the vision of society and culture. Italian people were named by the builders of the regime a nation of poets, artists, heroes, saints, explorers and travellers. Italian society was to implement the ideals of the Roman tradition and to build a new imperial power – La Terza Roma – while living in harmony with nature (in line with the idea of ‘ruralizzazione’). Duce wanted an Italian citizen to become ‘uomo integrale’ – the one who builds one’s spirituality and carnality harmoniously according to the guidelines of the fascist doctrine. The purpose of this article is to analyse the fascist vision of society and man and its implementation in the social life of Italy, with special emphasis on cultural life and standardization of culture and attempts to revive the ancient tradition and use it as a basis for building society and art.
