La vicenda de «L'Italia meridionale». Le battaglie di un giornale repubblicano nel Salento fascista

If we were to use the categories of historiographical controversy, we would have to conclude that the the story of Gregorio Carruggio represented one of the few cases of intellectual anti-fascism militant in Salento: in fact, from the news we recovered, there were no other malicious cases in Lecce of public fires of the printing machines, such as the one that touched the "Italia Meridionale" paper, directed by Carruggio. And this would be enough. By reading the newspaper, we can know the profile of a free man like few others, who produces a thought and a work, which they did not want to foment revolting masses, but like few other intellectuals were able to surround a class with a void inadequate, false, and often even ridiculous manager.
