Abstract
A sentence contained in an interview by the journalist Yvon De Begnac with Mussolini suggests that Mussolini may have read some parts of the Notebooks written by Gramsci while in prison in Turi. The article, in Italian, considers on what occasions Mussolini’s interest in Gramsci’s notebooks might have been aroused and when some of them could have been more easily taken from Turi, brought to Rome and returned to Turi, leaving Gramsci unaware of it.
