Abstract

This lecture by Signor Pietro Nenni was delivered at Chatham House on io May 1960. Its publication was delayed till now because the October I960 issue of International Affairs was devoted entirely to Africa. In the intervening months some changes have taken place not only in the international climate but also in Italian domestic politics. The Tambroni Government proved shortlived, as Signor Nenni foresaw. It collapsed in July following the antiFascist riots which took place early in that month in Genoa and elsewhere. Its successor, tnder the left-zeing Christian Democrat Signor Amintore Fanfani, obtained a large vote of confidence in which the Socialist Party for the first time distinguished itself from the Communist Opposition by abstaining. This development is also foreshadowed in Signor Nenni's lecture, which pitts in perspective the whole struggle of the progressive versus the conservative forces in Italy.
