Dal fascismo ai giorni nostri

Note re periods covered by the theme.   Pearson have written (18th April 2018)

• Re Sub theme 1:  'the rise to FULL power can be seen as the fascistizzazione del Paese hence the 1922-1940 period'.
• Re sub theme 3:, "le 6 nazioni" 'refers to the founding years of the European institutions and an awareness of Italy in those first years will presumably suffice without going into too much of the post war history; it is really mainly about the fall of Fascism and the advent of the Italian Republic.'

Sub themes

1. L’ascesa di Mussolini al potere
   
2. Il Fascismo durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale
3. Dalla dittatura alla democrazia
