Diuen que no pots enyorar el que no has tingut, pero si el que has perdut. Prefereixo la seguretat de ser estimat que la incertesa de ser qui estima.

Lui e come una bestia: sente il tempo che viene. Lo fiuta. E quel che fiuta e un'Italia sfinita, stanca della casta politica, della democrazia in agonia, dei moderati inetti e complici. Allora lui si mette a capo degli irregolari, dei delinquenti, degli incendiari e anche dei "puri", i piu fessi e i piu feroci. Lui, invece, in un rapporto di Pubblica Sicurezza del 1919 e descritto come "intelligente, di forte costituzione, benche sifilitico, sensuale, emotivo, audace, facile alle pronte simpatie e antipatie, ambiziosissimo, al fondo sentimentale". Lui e Benito Mussolini, ex leader socialista cacciato dal partito, agitatore politico indefesso, direttore di un piccolo giornale di opposizione. Sarebbe un personaggio da romanzo se non fosse l'uomo che piu d'ogni altro ha marchiato a sangue il corpo dell'Italia. La saggistica ha dissezionato ogni aspetto della sua vita. Nessuno pero aveva mai trattato la parabola di Mussolini e del fascismo come se si trattasse di un romanzo. Un romanzo - e questo e il punto cruciale - in cui d'inventato non c'e nulla. Non e inventato nulla del dramma di cui qui si compie il primo atto fatale, tra il 1919 e il 1925: nulla di cio che Mussolini dice o pensa, nulla dei protagonisti - D'Annunzio, Margherita Sarfatti, un Matteotti stupefacente per il coraggio come per le ossessioni che lo divorano - ne della pletora di squadristi, Arditi, socialisti, anarchici che sembrerebbero partoriti da uno sceneggiatore in stato di sovreccitazione creativa. Il risultato e un romanzo documentario impressionante non soltanto per la sterminata quantita di fonti a cui l'autore attinge, ma soprattutto per l'effetto che produce. Fatti dei quali credevamo di sapere tutto, una volta illuminati dal talento del romanziere, producono una storia che suona inaudita e un'opera senza precedenti nella letteratura italiana. Raccontando il fascismo come un romanzo, per la prima volta dall'interno e senza nessun filtro politico o ideologico, Scurati svela una realta rimossa da decenni e di fatto rifonda il nostro antifascismo.
