Un «acuto senso della realtà»: Togliatti, De Luca e l'erudizione / F. Mores. - In: STUDI STORICI. - ISSN 0039-3037. - 56:2(2015), pp. 287-310.
Abstract:
This article analyses one aspect of the relationship, thus far overlooked, between Palmiro Togliatti and don Giuseppe De Luca: their alleged shared understanding of «scholar-ship». The starting point is a commemorative piece on De Luca, which was written by Togliatti for «Rinascita» on 15 June 1963-that is, more than one year after De Lucas death (19 March 1962). Two passages from this very well-known document have not been sufficiently clarified: Togliatti's definition of «scholarship» (erudizione) as an interest that he shared with De Luca, and an implicit quotation from Augustine. Did the secretary of the West's most important Communist Party and the learned priest from Lucania, who was interested in cultural politics, really share an interest in scholarship? Did the discussions about Augustine convey a different type of communication between the two, Jnjhe form of an exclusive and «elevated» dialogue? This essay shall attempt to answer this question by focusing on an image published to illustrate Togliatti's commemorative article.
