Final Report

"Conservative Revolution" (CR) is a very ambiguous and equivocal term not only in Germany but also in Italy. It concerns the Right-wing movement in Italy and - as a part of it - some intellectuals who are anti - democratics. CR is not a scientific concept, but the term has been used politically; this is the most important dimension of CR in Italy. But the right-wing movement in Italy cannot be considered as a unique phenomenon with a certain political origin, uniform orientation and equal political goals. Thist is the result of my comparative studies of the most important representatives of CR in Italy.
The best known authors of CR in Italy are the writer Giulio Evola (1898 - 1974), the syndicalistic socialist and editor of the journals "Leonardo" and "La Voce" Giuseppe Prezzolini, the philosophers Giuseppe Rensi (1871 - 1941), Giovanni Gentile (1875 - 1974), Augusto Del Noce (1910 - 1989) and Ugo Spirito (1896 - 1979), furthermore the poet and politician Gabriele d'Annunzio (1863 - 1938).
Actually Marcello Veneziani is the italian author who has tried perhaps most intensively to adapt the concept of CR in Italy. According to Veneziani was, however, Mussolini himself the most important representative of CR in Italy. But this theory is far away from original concept of CR, elaborated by Armin Mohler to classify the political ideas of the Right-wing movement in the German Weimar Republic.
