  NOTE

  • This essay explores the peculiar kind of patriotism embodied by Rev. Luigi Sturzo during his American exile (1940-1946). In the first time, he tried to collaborate with prominent Italian antifascists escaped in the U.S. (Gaetano Salvemini, Carlo Sforza, Randolfo Pacciardi and other personalities gathered in the "Mazzini Society") in order to create an unique anti-fascist task force, capable to address the American Government. Nevertheless, this attempt failed because the members affiliated to the "Mazzini", in particular Salvemini, were not available to collaborate equally with Catholics like Rev. Sturzo. Thus, after this failure, from 1944 to 1946, Rev. Sturzo increased his efforts in the implementation of his own network, the "People and Freedom" American group, and he started a strong cooperation with the "National Catholic Welfare Conference", in order to give relief to Italy and to set up the cultural bases of the Italian Christian Democratic Party.
