The Mussolini Canal is one of the great achievements of contemporary Italian fiction. It spans 100 years of Italian history as seen through the lives of the Peruzzi family, who are among the 30,000 peasants from Northern Italy sent down to farm the newly-drained Pontine Marshes outside Rome in the 1930s. Mussolini is revered by the Peruzzi family, who must reconcile their admiration for Il Duce with the failings of Fascism which slowly envelop them. Contemporary events permeate the book and the hardship and misery of earlier periods are seen against the background of modern prosperity. It won the Strega prize in 2010 in Italy and has sold over 400,000 copies in Italy

Les Peruzzi: dix-sept frères et soeurs, une tribu. Des paysans sans terre, tendance marxiste, à la tête dure et au sang chaud. Parce qu’un certain Benito Mussolini est un ami de la famille, ils abandonnent le rouge pour le noir. En 1932, avec trente mille autres affamés, ils émigrent dans les marais Pontins, au sud de Rome, où démarre le chantier le plus spectaculaire de la dictature. Huit ans sont nécessaires pour creuser un gigantesque canal, assécher sept cents kilomètres carrés de bourbiers infestés de moustiques et bâtir des villes nouvelles. Enfin, les Peruzzi deviennent propriétaires de leurs domaines. Mais tandis que l’histoire emporte les aînés dans le tourbillon des conquêtes coloniales et de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, au Canal, les abeilles d’Armida, l’ensorcelante femme de Pericle, prédisent un sombre avenir. Entre chronique et farce, Pennacchi signe un roman époustouflant où la saga d’une famille sur trois générations croise un demi-siècle de l’histoire italienne.

Canale Mussolini è l'asse portante su cui si regge la bonifica delle Paludi Pontine. I suoi argini sono scanditi da eucalypti immensi che assorbono l'acqua e prosciugano i campi, alle sue cascatelle i ragazzini fanno il bagno e aironi bianchissimi trovano rifugio.

'Er zijn schrijvers die een verhaal kunnen vertellen, en andere - zeer weinige eigenlijk - die aan de hand van de levens van enkelen de memorabele daden van een heel volk weten te vertellen. Antonio Pennacchi behoort tot die laatsten. Door zijn grootsheid, zijn passie en zijn kracht.' - Niccolò Ammaniti In deze bijzondere familiekroniek vertelt Antonio Pennacchi het indrukwekkende verhaal van de Peruzzi's, een van de duizenden arme, landloze boerenfamilies die in de jaren dertig van de vorige eeuw vanuit Noord-Italië naar de Agro Pontino trokken. Dit moerasgebied ten zuiden van Rome werd in opdracht van Mussolini drooggelegd, bebouwd met boerderijen en verdeeld onder de Noord-Italiaanse immigranten. Het Mussolinikanaal is een meeslepend familie-epos in de sfeer van Bernardo Bertolucci's Novecento, waarin Pennacchi de intieme gebeurtenissen in de levens van de onvergetelijke hoofdrolspelers verweeft met de turbulente geschiedenis van Italië in de eerste helft van de twintigste eeuw. Het lot van drie generaties Peruzzi is verbonden met de opkomst van Mussolini en zijn fascistische regime, de Eerste en Tweede Wereldoorlog en de meedogenloze koloniale oorlog in het huidige Ethiopië.

Conceived in the 1850s and opened to navigation in 1869, the Suez Canal’s construction coincided with Italy’s path to unification and its first foray into nineteenth-century globalization. Since then, the history of Italy and the Canal have intertwined in many ways, throughout in peace and war. This edited collection explores the fundamental technical, diplomatic and financial contributions that Italy made to the production of the Canal and to its subsequent development, from the mid-nineteenth century to the Cold War. Drawing from unpublished public and private archival sources, this book is the first comprehensive account of this long and multifaceted relationship, providing innovative perspectives on Italy’s diplomatic, economic, social, colonial and cultural history. An insightful read for those studying maritime, diplomatic or Italian history, this book contributes to a growing body of research on the Canal, which has largely emerged from international business, labour and social history, and offers new insights into the Euro-Mediterranean region.

“An excellent read for anyone interested in men at war, as well as for students of the airborne operations, the Italian Campaign, and the war in Europe” (The NYMAS Review). Upon the completion of the Sicily and Salerno Campaigns in 1943, the paratroopers of Col. Reuben Tucker’s 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment were among the first Allied troops to enter Naples—a ghost town at first sight. The residents soon expressed their joy at being liberated. Four weeks later, the 504th—upon the special request of Gen. Mark Clark—spearheaded Fifth Army’s drive through the notorious Volturno Valley—the Germans’ next stand. January 1944 seemed to promise a period of rest, but the landing at Anzio meant deployment for the paratroopers again, this time by ship. A bombing raid during their beach landing was a forecast of eight weeks of bitter fighting. Holding the right flank of the beachhead along the Mussolini Canal, the paratroopers earned their nickname “Devils in Baggy Pants” for their frontline incursions into enemy lines, as well as their stubborn defense of the Allied salient. In this work, H Company’s attachment to the British 5th Grenadier Guards—and the Victoria Cross action of Maj. William Sidney—are painted in comprehensive light for the first time. The story of honorary member of the 504th PIR, Italian veteran Antonio Taurelli, is also included. Using war diaries, personal journals, letters, and interviews with nearly eighty veterans, an up-close view of the 504th PIR in the Fifth Army’s Italy Campaign is here in unsurpassed detail. From the author of two previous works on the 504th PIR, The Battle of the Bridges and Blocking Kampfgruppe Peiper, this book shows that the Italian theater was second to none in terms of grueling combat, courage against formidable odds, and an extremely expert enemy.
