Resumo: | The retrieval of the past under a fascist ideological lens included not only the image of Romanity (the celebration of Ancient Rome) but also the representation of the Middle Ages. Medievalism represents one of the less familiar and less researched aspects of the cultural policies of Italian Fascism, part of the programmes of national regeneration of the regime, which promoted exhortation of virility, social order and the supremacy of national arts. This article interrogates the representation of the condottieres within Fascist ideology and questions the retrieval of the medieval heritage of the Italian Renaissance in a cinematic perspective. Mussolini’s regime recovered the Risorgimento, the imaginary of a powerful and bellicose country. The identification between Mussolini and the condottieri, propagated through various media, was particularly effective. Once the Fascist regime fell, the heroic and ideological outlook of Fascism was completely reversed in favour of a narrative that exalts pacifism and anti-militarism. |

Le médiévalisme représente une ligne idéologique, que les recherches autour des politiques culturelles du fascisme ont moins abordée, mais qui fut cruciale car elle reprenait les différents programmes du régime de régénération nationale, comme l’exaltation de la virilité, de l’ordre social, et la suprématie des arts nationaux. Cet article traite de la thématique des condottieres à l’intérieur de l’opération idéologique du régime fasciste et questionne la récupération du patrimoine médiéval de la Renaissance italienne dans une optique cinématographique. Le régime de Mussolini a récupéré l’imaginaire du Risorgimento, qui peignait un pays puissant et belliqueux. L’identification de Mussolini à la figure des condottieres, que véhicula la propagande par plusieurs voies, s’avéra très efficace. À la chute du régime fasciste, cette appréhension héroïque et idéologique des condottieres a été complètement retournée en faveur d’une narration qui exaltait le pacifisme et l’antimilitarisme.Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade NOVA de Lisboa2021-07-07info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.48487/pdh.2021.n12.24951https://doi.org/10.48487/pdh.2021.n12.24951Práticas da História.

The retrieval of the past under a fascist ideological lens included not only the image of Romanity (the celebration of Ancient Rome) but also the representation of the Middle Ages. Medievalism represents one of the less familiar and less researched aspects of the cultural policies of Italian Fascism, part of the programmes of national regeneration of the regime, which promoted exhortation of virility, social order and the supremacy of national arts. This article interrogates the representation of the condottieres within Fascist ideology and questions the retrieval of the medieval heritage of the Italian Renaissance in a cinematic perspective. Mussolini’s regime recovered the Risorgimento, the imaginary of a powerful and bellicose country. The identification between Mussolini and the condottieri, propagated through various media, was particularly effective. Once the Fascist regime fell, the heroic and ideological outlook of Fascism was completely reversed in favour of a narrative that exalts pacifism and anti-militarism. |
