Luigi Salvatorelli

Luigi Salvatorelli was an Italian historian and publicist, born in Marsciano, Province of Perugia, Italy and a political journalist in 1919 during Benito Mussolini's rise to power and was associated with the Turin-based liberal newspaper La Stampa in 1921. He stopped writing when Mussolini abolished the freedom of the press and Salvatorelli later became a member of the liberal socialist Action Party. His work Storia d'Italia nel periodo fascista is still to this day, with its 1,100 pages, one of the most detailed historiography monographs about the 1919–1945 period in Italy.
