Description
Summary:The paper deals with the point of view of the Jesuits’ magazine «The Catholic Civilization» about the Italian General Expositions, which took place in Turin in 1884 and 1898. In both expositions the process of nation’s construction had a central role, through a political use of the Risorgimento’s memory, in addition to the usual celebration of scientific and technological progress. In 1884 the periodical refused liberal values of the exposition, showing the significant role of the Catholics in science; in 1898 the controversy against liberals was softened thanks to the presence of both catholic and liberal events in the exposition.
