The arici speak English

A document preserved in the National Archives (HS/9/621/7) we learn that at the end of 1940, Emilio Lussier (one of the leading exponents of anti-immigrant) in Lisbon came into contact with a British agent, informing him of "being sure that partisan organization in Sardinia would have created a wide-ranging insurgency against the government in Rome. "The ground on which to maneuver Lussier had had to be made from the pictures of the Sardinian Action Party, whose founder was," composed of officers and commissioned officers with an uncommon military experience formed the Sassari Brigade, who had served under his command during the Great War. " Those veterans, already used during the civil conflict between 1919 and 1922, had the opposite clan fascist and anti-fascists in the island, had to operate exclusively against German units, 'buy the favor of the Italian army that was mostly made up of Sardinia. The aspiration for autonomy, continued Lussier, had become general, and it could recognize the entire island's anti-fascism. The decisive action, with the concentration of all bands of guerrillas, should have taken place during an allied expedition, which would follow "the seizure of political power and the formation of a provisional government that would speak to the whole ' Italy to push for the overthrow of fascism. " Between September and October of '41, Lussier reached Gibraltar and Malta, where they talk with makers of the Special Operations Executive, which since July 40 had been placed under the direct command of Churchill to organize in all the territories controlled by the Axis' sabotage, subversive propaganda, strikes, insurrections, civil resistance to support the '. The response to offers of Lussier, however, was lukewarm. The coldness of the SOE could be explained on the basis of some specific factors. First, the "unreliability Lussu policy 'and the fear that one of its bands could be infiltrating elements of robbery, that the anti-fascist leader described as" bandits of honor. " Then, the reputed failures collected from England to recruit an "Italian Legion" expats living in the U.S. and among the prisoners held in India. Finally, the conditions under which Lussu make its commitment and that is the assurance that, after the war, Italy would maintain its settlements and the borders set in '19. Moreover, the negotiations had been adversely affected by the refusal of Lussier to become part of Soe, motivated by the belief that "no member of anti-Italian could have accepted to become a British agent, put it that way at the service of a foreign power '. The situation changed in late January '42, when Lussier reached London, under the pseudonym Grienspan Meyer, preceded by disclosures that qualified him as "a person of highest prestige is intended to maintain profitable relationships with our Ministers and other hierarchies more military." During the talks, which took place between February and June, Lussier softened its position, giving up the hope to keep under Italian sovereignty the Dodecanese and Cyrenaica. His application was limited, now, to ask that the resolutions of London on this matter remain secret "to avoid conflict with the Royal Army which would secure the support or at least the certainty that it will not fire on civilians at the time of the revolt '. Since then Lussu Soe promised to work closely with not only in Sardinia, but also "in Central and South ', provided that was given to his party' insurance policy to be able to spread throughout the national territory. " Although Soe
harbored wider confidence in the success of the coup orchestrated by Lussier, dubbed Operation Postbox, the negotiations came to no conclusion el'ardimentoso captain of the Sassari Brigade left London with the promise that the lean British Cabinet would continue to consider the program an invasion of Sardinia. In the meeting of War Cabinet on 20 November '42 Churchill considered, in fact, essential to the occupation of the island as a target, but not to be a fascist shrine, but to make a big aircraft carrier land on which the trigger strategy of moral bombing against the Italian cities of the Tyrrhenian coast, including Rome. Proving to be quite skeptical about the chance to see the birth of a revolt against the regime of Mussolini, the occupant of Downing Street was convinced that only the weapon of terror would have forced Italy to surrender, affecting his people that 'if he continued to pursue the path of Fascism would have to bear all the punishments and calamities that they reserve the losers. "Still, the program Lussier, regarding the possibility of triggering a revolution in Supramonte, continued to affect the UK, provided it can be transformed by uprising autonomy in separatist revolt in order to make Sardinia a new gem of the British Empire. Not coincidentally, the Foreign Office drew up in '42, a detailed study on this hypothesis, focusing on the 'Attitude Towards Italian rule of Sardinia. Or accidentally, the first draft of the peace treaty with Italy, made by Anthony Eden, 5 July '45, he insisted on the need to refer Pantelleria, Lampedusa, Linosa the mandate of the victorious powers, pending Sicily and perhaps to incorporate '"Isola dei Sardi" in the domains of Commonwealth.eugeniodirienzo @ tiscali.it
