"What did it mean to live with fascism, communism, and totalitarianism in modern Italy?
And what should we learn from the experiences of a martyred liberal democrat father
and his communist son? Through the prism of a single, exceptional family, the Amendolas,
R.J.B. Bosworth reveals the heart of twentieth-century Italian politics. Giovanni
and Giorgio Amendola, father and son, were both highly capable and dedicated Anti-Fascists.
Each failed to make it to the top of the Italian political pyramid but nevertheless
played a major part in Italy's history. Both also had rich but contrasting private
lives. Each married a foreign and accomplished woman: Giovanni, a woman from a distinguished
German-Russian intellectual family; Giorgio, a Parisian working class girl, who, to
him, embodied Revolution. This vivid and engaging biographical study explores the
highs and lows of a family that was at the centre of Italian politics over several
generations. Tracing the complex relationship between Anti-Fascist politics and the
private lives of individuals and of the family, Politics, Murder and Love in an Italian
Family offers a profound portrait of a century of Italian life"
