A reportage inside the world of the Italian far right. Anyone who wants to tell it must drop every judgement and prejudice and set aside political correctness, also because behind often indefensible ideas one finds people who are humanly worthwhile, who wrong-foot those who think they are dealing only with the worst side of politics, a few racist and violent fanatics. Cosmelli investigated this "heterogeneous galaxy" at length, telling many aspects of its life, from moments of gathering to family intimacy, concerts and mass rallies: a deep, disconcerting and original reportage. The text by the journalist Marco Mathieu confirms once again the strength of social reportage, in words and images, as a key to knowing our reality.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
