The peculiar founding element of the Italian democratic political system after World War II was the intense struggle between the strongest Communist Party in the West and an anti-communist and pro-Western government coalition. This struggle played out in projects, ideas, and symbols, creating a complex and multifaceted political landscape. Communism and anti-Communism in early Cold War Italy shed light on new aspects and players of the anti-Communist 'front.' It examines the role of cultural associations, newspapers, and the popular press in shaping and disseminating critical judgments and images of Communism, highlighting a dimension that explains the strength and widespread diffusion of anti-communist opinions in Italy after 1989 and the crisis of traditional political parties. Moreover, the author contextualizes the case of Italian cold-war anti-communism within an international framework, providing a fresh perspective on this significant historical period.
