Abstract
Abstract: This article analyzes the reworking of a variant of the myth of Rome, the Myth of an American Rome, by the principal reclassification movement actor, Luigi Rocco Antonini, during the Second World War. It explores the discursive origins, establishes historical context, and examines the construction and synthesis of plotlines. The significance as a political myth to mobilize the people of Italian descent in support of a singular loyalty to America and to reconcile the dilemma of fighting against Italy is evaluated. Although intended to function as a liberating force, the analysis reveals the potential was undermined by various constraints.
