This article examines the Scuola di Mistica Fascista (1930β1943), founded by NiccolΓ² Giani in Milan, as a key site of Fascist spiritual orthodoxy. It traces how the School sought to sacralise Fascism through fideism, absolute loyalty to Mussolini, and the formation of a revolutionary elite, while contesting Giovanni Gentileβs Actual Idealism and resisting bureaucratic stagnation, until its members were consumed by the war they had spiritually prepared to fight.ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ

The School of Fascist Mysticism
by Zoltanous
π7β‘1
βFascism is a violent appeal to Tradition, not a return or a repetition. For us fascists, Tradition, as the etymological meaning of the term suggests and as Evola documented, is and cannot be anything other than dynamic. Otherwise, we would be speaking of conservatism or reaction. Instead, Tradition is a continuous conjugation, through the present, of the past and the future; it is an inexhaustible process of transcendence, a burning torch with which each people lights its own path and runs through time toward the future. This is why, today, Revolution and Tradition are not mutually exclusive, but rather identify with each other, and this explains our veneration of the past and tells those same blinkered men that the Italian of the 20th century cannot but be fascist.β
