Andrea Rapini's 'L'Antifascismo' Traces Antifascism as Generative Tradition

Andrea Rapini's book 'L'Antifascismo. Una tradizione generativa, 1945-2025' (Donzelli 2025) reframes antifascism not as a period-bound resistance (1943-1945) or a constitutional coextension with the Italian Republic, but as a generative tradition spanning 1945 to 2025. The volume navigates between these two common misconceptions, offering a new temporal framework that sees antifascism as an evolving, productive force rather than a static historical reference. The subtitle's promise is progressively fulfilled as readers grasp the generative nature of this tradition.
