Placing Croce at the centre of historical events between 1943 and 1952, this book details his participation in Italy\u0026amp;#x2019;s political life, and his major contributions to the rebirth of Italian democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on a great amount of primary material, including Croce\u0026amp;#x2019;s political speeches, correspondences, diaries, and official documents from post-war Italy, this book illuminates the dynamic and progressive nature of Croce\u0026amp;#x2019;s liberalism and the shortcomings of the old Liberal leaders. Providing a year-by-year account of Croce\u0026amp;#x2019;s initiatives, author Fabio Fernando Rizi fills the gap in Croce\u0026amp;#x2019;s biography, covering aspects of his public life often neglected, misinterpreted, or altogether ignored, and restores his standing among the founding fathers of modern Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e1.
