Le celebrazioni del Settantesimo della Liberazione nell'uso pubblico della storia

The present paper aims to analyze the celebrations for the 70th anniversary of the Liberation. My goal is to show how the aforementioned celebrations did actually dismiss a topic that was central for the Italian identity since the very beginning of the Italian Republic. I am going to investigate this issue by both drawing a historical comparison between the 2015 celebrations and the public use of fascism-antifascism topic since mid-1970s, and conducting a content and rhetorical analysis of the public discourse during 2015 commemorations.
