Corporativismi allo specchio. Quattro variazioni nella dialettica tra cattolicesimo e fascismo

The article focuses on the role played by corporatism in the connections between Catholicism and Fascism. The aim is to sketch a development marked by four variations: 1) the convergence on corporatist doctrine as a meeting point between the Catholic tradition and the Fascist movement; 2) the distancing of certain Catholic circles from the corporatist order that Fascism achieved in Italy; 3) the realignment of Catholic political thought on the question of the state; 4) the hybridization between Catholic projects and the Fascist model that characterized the corporatist laboratories of various European and Latin American countries.
