Dear readers,

We are pleased to present to you the September edition of “Annali.Reviews.Online”, the last issue of 2023. It opens with an interesting Forum devoted to the book of Marco Armiero, Roberta Biasillo, and Wilko Graf von Hardenberg, La natura del duce. Una storia ambientale del fascismo, reviewed in the Italian edition (published by Einaudi) by Simona Leoni Boscani (Bern) and in the English edition Mussolini’s Nature (published by MIT Press) by Anna Koch (London). The book offers a detailed analysis of the political ecology of fascism, examining the practices and discourse through which the regime shaped the perception and the configuration of nature, in order to adapt it to its own ideological needs. Such a reflection is topical, both in terms of natural disasters and in terms of the memory of the monuments and other traces that fascism left in the landscape. This publication shows very efficiently the potential of the approach of environmental political history, a field of research that has become very relevant in recent international historiography. As usual, ARO furthermore presents the latest publications in the field of early modern and contemporary history, devoted to multiple research themes, among which the history of archives, demography, diplomacy between Italy and Russia, the mafia and terrorism, and many others.

We hope that you enjoy this issue. The next issue of “Annali.Reviews.Online” will come out in Spring 2024.

From next year the journal will be published twice a year, 31 March and 30 September respectively. The structure and the multiplicity of topics that have characterized “Annali.Reviews.Online” from its creation in 2018 will, however, remain the same, thanks to the invaluable collaboration of a large group of editors.
