In this in-depth historical study of homosexuality in Fascist Italy, Lorenzo Benadusi adds new insights to the study of the complex relationships of masculinity, sexuality, and Fascism; explores the connections between new Fascist values and preexisting Italian traditional and Roman Catholic views; documents the Fascist regime’s strategies for repressing and imprisoning homosexuals; uncovers the ways that accusations of homosexuality were used against political enemies; and shows how homosexuality was deemed the enemy of the Fascist ‘New Man’.
