Italy at War
Our fascinating new ‘Italy at War’ exhibition is now in place in our staircase hall. Archival material from the Special Collections of the University of Reading offer a captivating insight into life under Mussolini’s final Fascist state.
‘The University holds fascinating records relating to modern Italian history. This display will highlight the rare survivals of documents from the Repubblica di Salò – Mussolini’s final Fascist state that lasted from 1943 to 1945 – and the archive of Cecil Sprigge, Reuter’s chief correspondent in Italy from 1943 to 1946.’
