This little pamphlet contains the text of a rallying speech given by Alessandro Pavolini to the people of Florence in 1940. A Florentine himself, Pavolini was a journalist who also became Minister of Popular Culture in 1939. Pavolni ensured the execution of the man who helped put him into this position, Galeazzo Ciano, in 1943, and ordered ruthless actions against Italian resistance fighters, who were especially active in the country side around Florence. Pavolini was finally executed by partisans in Dongo along with Mussonlini in April 1945. Guido Mazzoni may have heard the speech, though at the time he would have been 81 years old. The pages of this text are available as well.
