Enzo Giudici
Enzo Giudici (Mussomeli, September 24, 1920 – Rome, October 4, 1985) was an Italian academic, specialising in French Renaissance literature, particularly Louise Labé and Maurice Scève. He was also a publicist close to fascism.
Enzo Giudici is the son of Isabella Sorce and Paolo Giudici, a teacher and writer. His mother died when he was 3 years old. At the age of 10, he left Sicily to live with his father in Piacenza, Pavia, Potenza and Rome.
During his studies, he was close to the Gruppo Universitario Fascista[]. During World War II, Giudici was not enrolled in the army for health reasons. He contributed to Orizzonte, the official newspaper of the Xa MAS, and Fronte Unico, a ""fascist weekly publication directed by Vito Videtta, a member of the extremist Pietro Koch's "gang". In an article of December 1943, Giudici claimed that fascism was the negation of classes and individuals and was characterized by totalitarism and corporatism. He also collaborated to "Libro e moschetto", the newspaper of the Gruppo Universitario Fascista[]. In Universalità e nazionalità delle guerre (Universality and nationality of the wars), an article published in April 1943 by Libro e moschetto, he wrote: “The present war is together a universal and national war, in which the values and the fate of the world are being determinated - through our Italian national conscience. This fight is clearly between two centuries and two ideas, but though it is a fight between peoples, peoples do implement and represent ideas.” In 1944, during the Italian Social Republic, he debated with Roberto Farinacci on reforms in the magazine Repubblica fascista. He wrote in Repubblica Sociale, a monthly review directed by Manlio Sargenti[], an article on "socialized and corporative economy". The same year, he wrote a book on the socialization of corporations. In 1946, he was the vice president of the executive board (vicepresidente dell consiglio direttivo) of the newly founded Movimento Italiano di Unità Sociale, which gathered the fascist elit and preceded, not only by name, the MSI. In 1947, he collaborated to Il Pensiero nazionale[] a magazine directed by Stanis Ruinas[] and aiming to gather "ex fascists leaning to the left".
