Abstract

Considering the military as an élite among the others that ruled the Italian liberal state, the author proposes an analysis of some election campaigns in which high-ranking army officers were involved as candidates. The social networks and the personal strategies implemented by the officers are shown through their private and family archives, in particular the one related to count Luigi Majnoni d’Intignano, a Lombard aristocrat who ran for a seat twice, and under very different conditions. In the end, the research allows a deep rethinking about the role and the representation of the relationship between Italian military élite and politics before the Great War.
