N2  - The First World War had a tremendous impact both on the individual biography of Angelo Fortunato Formiggini (who will eventually commit suicide as a consequence of the Fascist racial laws) and on Modena as a whole : the age-long customs and traditions of the city&#39;s 100,000 inhabitants were deeply upset by the conflict. Formiggini&#39;s Modena was a secular and civilised city, it had its own university, and it was still mindful of its past as the capital the Este-Habsburg Duchy. In the field of the humanities, the city was the home of a vibrant scholarly community which was particularly active in the areas of history, classical studies, linguistics, folklore, and archival research. The members of this community saw themselves as the heirs of a tradition that could be traced back to Muratori, but did not disdained to be involved in a petty-bourgeois, unpretentious, and dialect-speaking social environment. © Copyright 2015 by Fabrizio Serra editore, Pisa Roma.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
