In November 1918 the conflict officially ended, but not the high level of conflict fueled by the four years of war, in which the “duty of hatred” was prevalent. The post-war period was thus characterized, first of all, as a difficult path out of the war; accompanied by the constant presence of a pervasive violence, a presence which was preached, exalted and practiced. Considering this background, the article proposes a focus on the immediate post-war period (1918-1922), that also comprehends the story of the Parma barricades of August 1922. It does so by outlining the pursuit (between hopes and fears, disorientations and illusions) of a new international order and of new political structures together with the emergence of new protagonists, of the tensions/transformations that affected customs and social, generational and gender relationships.
