“Fango e Cenere” — The Four Days of Naples and the Southern Question
Remy Biggs
Trinity College Dublin
Scholarship like Pavone’s commonly depicts the Four Days of Naples as an exception to the idea of there being no antifascist activity in the Mezzogiorno — however, it is cast as an extraordinary and spontaneous populist uprising with marginal political implications and an apolitical resistance base. I argue that this, too, downplays the extent to which Neapolitans resisted on the grounds of a long history of foreign occupation — and does not acknowledge the violence the Allies inflicted upon Naples in turn.
