This book analyses a manifestation of the use of identitarian discourse in politics, i.e the role of the concept of 'Romanness' or romanità under Italian fascism. The author explores a wide selection of written press published during the ventennio fascista, and evidences that romanità, conceived as a process of identification between ancient (Roman) and fascist Italy, was a nearly passe partout concept, which could be introduced whenever the most diverse aspects of fascist ideology in some way seemed to converge with Roman antiquity. Rather than focusing on romanità's singularity under fascism, this study highlights the relative ease with which this long-existing concept was used and converted. On a more abstract level, the study touches upon the problem of consensus, as it clearly shows how intellectuals were in part responsible for the diffusion and development of one of themajor and most omnipresent myths promoted by the fascist regime.
