Active in the second half of the twentieth century and the early 2000s, Roberto Vivarelli devoted most of his studies to the theme of the origins of fascism, from a perspective that united post-war events with the history of united Italy. The essay rereads Vivarelli’s historiographical production considering his original motivations and issues with which his conception of liberalism was confronted as well as the ethical and political bias and assessments Vivarelli matured in the face of the events of his time. The essay highlights the links and mutual conditioning between Vivarelli’s ideal orientations and the evolution of his production, also explaining in this way its strengths, but also its overt aporias, primarily in the interpretation of the origins of fascism.
