Nicola Bombacci's journey from a founding member of the Italian Communist Party to a fascist figure embodies the complex political trajectories seen in interwar Europe.
Steven Forti's exploration of historical figures like Bombacci underscores the unsettling reality that fascism can attract those traditionally opposed to it, raising concerns about contemporary politics.
In his new book, Forti argues that the rise of right-wing populism and electoral autocracies signifies a dangerous shift in democratic governance, particularly observed since 2009.
Forti's work contemplates the rise of new fascism, linking historical movements to current political climates dominated by figures like Trump and Salvini, signaling a potential democratic crisis.
