| Summary: | The notion of utopia accompanies the entire period of Tommaso Fiore’s reflection, starting from Masonic influences that induce him to take part in World War I, like the foundation of a “reign of utopia”, as he wrote in his trench notebooks. Disappointed, however, by the violence of reality, Fiore moves to socialistic-liberal positions that lead him again to reflect on the utopian matrices of European political thought, mostly in Thomas More and Erasmus of Rotterdam. The most mature point of this progressive realistic correction of the concept of utopia would be reached after World War II, as soon as Fiore would pay attention to Soviet Socialism structures, identifying them as the model of a viable social bliss, a “land of utopia” example that was realized and can be imitated. |
