“…On 20 May 1882, Italy joined the military alliance between Germany and Austria-Hungary. Italy’s ties with Germany grew even stronger during the four governments led by Prime Minister Francesco Crispi between 1887 and 1896 (Duggan, 2002). This came at the expense of Italy’s relationship with France, not in the least because the latter had been a strong adversary of Germany since the Franco-Prussian war and the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine to the German empire.…”

This article focuses on the discourse on pacifism and Latinity in the Italian periodical Cronache della civiltà elleno-latina (1902–1907), founded by Angelo De Gubernatis. Under the leadership of Crispi in the 1880s and 1890s, Italy embraced expansionism, colonialism, and pro-German attitudes, which strained its relations with France. In stark contrast to this militarism, the Cronache championed a vision of Italy rooted in liberal and democratic ideals. The periodical advocated for a peaceful international order to enhance Italy’s position in modernity. In doing so, it proposed an anti-belligerent macro-nationalism based on the dissemination of the values of Latinity: harmony, peace, and order. Specifically, I analyze how the periodical used the historical relations between France and Italy to construct a myth of a new Latin Renaissance. This Renaissance envisioned a profound epochal transformation, a new beginning in European history characterized by peace, unity, and solidarity among Europe’s nations.
