1995PENDRAGON 1995 128 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: LIEVI SEGNI DEL TEMPO, PER IL RESTO INTONSO, PARI AL NUOVO. Riunisce quattro saggi più una Premessa 1995 che critica duramente la leggerezza con cui oggi si affronta la questione di Marinetti e del futurismo. Il primo saggio offre una visione d’insieme del movimento e dell’opera marinettiana nel contesto culturale e politico del tempo, gli altri interventi affrontano con grande rigore critico gli aspetti innovativi e non del futurismo. Particolarmente importante l’ultimo saggio che tratta dei rapporti fra Marinetti e il pensiero del grande filosofo francese Henri Bergson.

2020br. Mussolini e Trump: li divide un secolo e l'atomica, la Guerra fredda e due conflitti mondiali, un centinaio di milioni di morti e la globalizzazione. Eppure il secondo pare essere l'imitatore dei vezzi e dei vizi del primo. Analoghe le strategie che li conducono al potere: un insolito talento nel controllare e usare i mass media e la comunicazione scritta e verbale, di cui sono anche imprenditori, lo spregiudicato ricorso agli slogan e i modi di creazione del consenso. Perfino alcuni tratti della loro personalità sono simili, inclusi i rapporti con le donne. Mussolini alle soglie della società di massa, Trump a quella dei social network, di cui entrambi individuano i rispettivi punti di forza. L'oratoria, il gesto, il corpo sono utilizzati come armi indirizzate verso obiettivi spesso lontani dal bene comune e da quello del Paese, al fine di imporre il proprio carisma sulle folle. Eppure, ricevono consensi. L'attività politica di Mussolini si colloca dopo la Grande Guerra e l'epidemia di spagnola, quella di Trump dopo la crisi del 2008, il sopravvento economico della Cina e durante la pandemia di coronavirus. Mussolini stabilizzò il proprio potere con un regime: accadrà lo stesso per l'America di Trump, nel caso venga rieletto?

1945Best.-Nr. 015744no place: No publisher 1945. Photographic Image. Near fine condition. No Binding. Early edition. Two black & white photographs measuring approximately 4.25 inches x 6.25 inches 105mm x 162mm depicting the upside-down hanging corpse of Italian Fascist Dictator Benito Mussolini and others on April 29 1945. A day earlier Mussolini his mistress Clara Claretta Petacci her brother and the dictator's 15 person entourage of ministers and officials of the Italian Social Republic were captured by partisans. They had been traveling with retreating German forces with Mussolini apparently wearing a German military uniform. They were executed in Giulino di Mezzegra by shooting or firing squad and the bodies transported south of Milan and dumped at the old Piazzale Loreto which was renamed Piazza Quindici Martiri. After the corpses were shot kicked and spat upon the bodies were hung upside-down on meathooks from the roof of an Esso gas station. The bodies were then stoned by civilians. The site had previously been used for executions of partisans by Axis authories. One photographs shows a total of 7 hanging corpses identified only by number. Numbers 4 and 5 are Mussolini and his mistress Petacci. Historical records identify number 3 as Achille Starace. A gas pump is clearly visible in the immediate background as is the gas station. It is almost a straight on shot maybe 15 degrees to the right showing 50-60 spectators and a few men facing the crowd apparently acting as security. There are no G.I.'s shown although 4-5 men in leather jackets standing directly in front of the corpses may be aviators.The other photograph is a close-up of Mussolini and his mistress taken about 45 degrees from the left. There is no photographer's identification on the front or back of the prints. Minor staining to the edges. These are original prints from 1945. No publisher hardcover
