On April and after years of fighting against fascism popular mobilization managed to put an end to the so-called Italian Social Republic of Benito Mussolini and he was publicly executed in a square in Rome. The journalist Telesio Interlandi right-hand man of the Duce directed at his request the main publications of the Italian fascio such as the newspaper Il Tevereo the magazines Quadrivio and La difesa della razza. The latter was the most influential especially loved by the dictator for being the propaganda organ in Italy of National Socialism as an ideological weapon to found Italian racism whose main theorist and mentor was none other than Telesio Interlandi himself. Once the factional regime was defeated hundreds of partisans took to the streets to pursue and shoot without trial any fascists they encountered.
Telesio Interlandi had the immense fortune to save his life thanks to his arrest along with that of his son Cesare. Fortune that he saw fulfilled with the appearance of the socialist lawyer Enzo Paroli whose ethical and human quality led him not only to exercise CXB Directory his defense in the corresponding trial but also to risk his life and that of his family by hiding Interlandi and his son in his house. to free them from partisan anger. Before deciding his defense the lawyer wanted to know Interlandi's thoughts from his own voice and to do so he went to visit him in prison. Enzo Paroli rejected the old Manichaeism that simplistically divides men into two monolithic and closed blocks: that of the good and that of the bad in such a way that those who belong to one can never receive influence from the other much less abandon the that corresponds to him to go to the opposite.
Paroli understood that both sides are perfectly permeable and therefore it is not strange that there are men straddling one and the other as something inherent to human nature where good and evil exist in different degrees. As a man the lawyer considered himself an example of this. Perhaps that is why the lawyer decided to take on the defense of that individual perhaps because life demands of all of us precisely the need to live and to affirm one's own life in itself. Also to beings dominated by vileness and ignominy like the one before me “Human history is God's thought on the earth of men” maintained Interlandi for whom Rome is a “divine formula to which one tends universally without being aware of it.” This idea was new and old at the same time because it was the idea of the Nation and the Homeland in capital letters.
