DA PIAZZA «ROSSA» A PIAZZA «TRICOLORE»: LA CALABRIA INTERVENTISTA 1914-1915.

Similarly to what happened elsewhere, in Calabria the time of Italy's neutrality was overwrought with internal conflicts. This paper will focus on the elements, which were instrumental for interventionism to take hold and overthrow the initial non-intervention policy, despite it being only supported by a minority in the spring of 1915. Extensive consideration is given to the practices used by Interventionists to influence public opinion in favour of the war, and to contrast non-interventionism supporters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
