The Poet and the Dictator: Lauro De Bosis Resists Fascism in Italy and America (Italian & Italian American Studies) Book

This vivid biography is a study of the life and times of the Italian poet-activist, Lauro de Bosis. Remarkably productive as a poet, cultural diplomat, and political subversive, de Bosis founded and lead an underground resistance group, the National Alliance for Liberty. His actions culminated in a dramatic solo flight over Rome in October 1931, showering the city from his small plane with protest leaflets against the Fascist dictatorship before plunging to his death. This feat brought world attention to the existence of anti-Fascism, much to Mussolini's chagrin and rage. This is the first biography of a young, gifted Italian poet who dared to challenge the power of a totalitarian state, and used his practical idealism and fierce determination to protect Italy's fragile democracy from il Duce.Read More
