Una statua contaminata. L’effige bronzea di Giulio Cesare a Rimini tra storia e politica

Abstract

The statue of Julius Caesar in Rimini is an example of tainted memory and of the difficulties to cope with the fascist dictatorship and its legacy in Italy. A discussion lasting almost eighty years that has not yet found a worthy conclusion, and which ritually fills the chronicles of the political debate in Rimini. A case study on many aspects: from Fascist propaganda, to the anti-Fascist response of the postwar period up to the inability of our days to find shared solutions on the signs of history
