Abstract
If the crisis of liberal memory in Europe should be seen more as a process than as a sudden shift, it is probably fair to say that the Italian experience with geopolitical amnesia started rather abruptly with the advent of the so-called “Second Republic,” and in particular with the arrival of Silvio Berlusconi. Up to that point, the devastating effects of the Second World War on the country were still predominant in both Italian discourse and foreign policy practices.
