Abstract
Moving from the assumption that the military was one of the many elites that ruled the Italian Liberal state, the author analyses those election campaigns to the Chamber of Deputies in which high-ranking army officers were involved as candidates. The role of their social networks and the personal engagement of these officers are reconstructed through their private and family archives, in particular the records of Count Luigi Majnoni d’Intignano, a Lombard aristocrat who ran for a seat twice. The research ultimately leads to a rethinking of both the role of Italy’s military elite in politics and its perception of it before the Great War.
