Without pretending to make the "historical revisionism", the book forgotten that I propose in this article shows that people are somewhat understated for a large part of the " intelligentsia Italian, between the wars of the last century.
course, referring to that period, I refer to that historical period which saw Italy ruled by the fascist totalitarianism.
addition to the easy rhetoric of hagiography or as simple smear exposure, too much abused by both contenders of either party, it is undeniable that during the twenty years of fascist dictatorship, have been established in Italy expressions artistic and intellectual importance, accounting for authentic avant-garde in the cultural world.
Just think of rationalism in architecture or a way of making films, which will be essential to the humus of Neorealism.
Well, many men of culture of that time, born in editorial pages of local GUF (University Groups Fascists), grown at the National School of Cinematography in Rome, located just in front of Cinecittà , or winners in the various sections of Littoriali of culture and art, became, after the fall of fascism, Peak expression of anti-militant, coming to meet with prominent political and government, directing the prestigious national newspapers and became popular directors, actors and successful writers, they are even well-connected in the RAI television studios.
By renunciation of what had been, of their origins in the cultural sense, many of these intellectuals justified the inevitable and frequent as in a dictatorship, have come to define those areas as real nurseries of anti-fascist energy.
Each of us can do a review about it. Will certainly find a lot of material to substantiate this claim. Very little information instead of the opposite view, namely that he preferred quell'intellighenzia Italian, the bad block, stock and barrel jumping on the bandwagon.
Nino Tripodi, in his "Intellectuals under two flags," presents us with a detailed travel and sarcastic, harsh, and penetrating between these protagonists of the cultural landscape Italian in the second half of last century. A travel narrative, accompanied by excerpts from newspapers, magazines or other sources and the time allocated to these intellectuals, where the author points out a marked reverential attitude towards Fascism and its leader, only to show, through other writings, the renewed criticism.
It should be noted, however, that the author was a "witness" of a party, having been Parliamentary Assembly of the Italian Social Movement, as well as director of the newspaper of that party. However, having himself competed at the coasts, it is possible to have those events and those who knew him well participate.

The book deserves to be rediscovered for the potential contribution it could make to a debate to better understand a historical period of our country still important, regardless of the personal evaluation of merit.
The volume in my possession is an original edition of 1981, published by Ciarrapico.
