Abstract
The fiftieth anniversary of the Resistance did not bring to an end the debate over the Resistance. On the contrary, in the years between 1995 and the present day, there have been many developments of great significance. These include the ragazzi di Saiò episode, a landmark event if ever there was one, and the intense polemic provoked by the publications of Giampaolo Pansa. These have also been years characterized by great advances in historical studies. A number of important films have also been produced, although literary texts have been less prominent.1 The Resistance debate continues and some Italians do still take to the streets on April 25 (see Figure 8.1).
