Christian Giudice's Occult Imperium explores Italian national forms of occultism, chiefly analyzing Arturo Reghini (1878-1946), his copious writings, and Roman Traditionalism. Using Reghini's articles, books, and letters, as a guide, Giudice explores the interaction between Occultism, Traditionalism, and different facets of modernity in early-twentieth-century Italy. The book takes into consideration many factors particular to the Italian peninsula: the ties with avant-garde movements such as the Florentine Scapigliatura and Futurism, the occult vogues typical to Italy, the rise to power of Benito Mussolini and Fascism, and, lastly, the power of the Holy See over different expressions of spirituality.
Christian Giudice received his PhD from the University of Gothenburg. His work focuses on the Italian esoteric milieu of the early twentieth century. His other interests include fin de siècle occultism in France, England and Italy, Guénonian Traditionalism, the history of Thelema, and the relationship between occultism and cinema.
