The Summer School The Cultural Heritage and Memory of Totalitarianism explores the legacy of Fascism in Italy blending unique in situ visits to art, architecture, and historical monuments led by international experts and classes on literature, film, and culture led by Sapienza faculty. The goal is to broaden the period's scholarly assessment and suggest innovative curricula for humanities students who are also interested in working in museums and cultural institutes in Italy and abroad. The heritage of Fascism in Rome and Italy will be approached in the context of Nazism, Stalinism, and framed within the broader scenario of European colonialism. Special focus will be given to analyzing totalitarianism’s influence on the cultural production of the postwar period, in which this difficult legacy will constitute a battlefield of contrastive memories, and would shape the memory of later generations (post-memory). Students will be solicited to elaborate on the transnational impact of artistic and cultural experiences born in Italy and especially Rome, beginning with visual and literary texts that interpret Fascism and its contested heritage.
