Did you know today is International Men’s Day?
I’m spending it writing about Italy’s disabled WWI veterans and their family lives under fascism - a world far more complex than the usual tale of ‘sacrificial patriotic heroes’.

Venez m’écouter lundi prochain 3 novembre !
En présentiel au CMU à Genève et en ligne sur Zoom (lien dans le premier message en bas)
Je parlerai d’un projet qui me tient particulièrement au cœur : raconter l’histoire du mouvement des personnes handicapées en Italie.
This discussion, open to the public, will occur on the occasion of the opening of the exhibition “Masculinity in Question: Remedies and Devices for Nocturnal Emissions (18th-21st centuries),” which is the result of a collective effort carried out as part of a research project led by Francesca Arena.
My month in Geneva as a visiting scholar begins tomorrow, October 21, with my participation in the round table discussion “Masculinity in Question: Multidisciplinary Perspectives on the Male Body.”

I thank the editorial board of Italia contemporanea to give me the opportunity to share my thoughts with their readership.
I invite you all to read this article (and the rest of the issue) and let me know what your own thoughts on the topic ‘gender and fascism’ are!
This literature review provides some reflections on new trends in the history of Italian fascism from a gender perspective and offers insights into potential future research directions.
I’m very glad to announce the publication of my piece “Che genere di fascismo? Una rassegna storiografica oltre il centenario della Marcia su Roma” (The Genre and Gender of Fascism: Historiographical Review Beyond the Centenary of the March on Rome)

Enjoy reading this issue!
