Telesio Interlandi

[2] Interlandi was a devotee of racialism and believed that the concept of race was central to the fascist national revolution and this was the root of his strong antisemitism.

[2] He founded two journals, Il Quadrivio in 1934 and La Difesa della Razza in 1938, both noted not only for their antisemitism but also for their admiration of Nazism.

[2] Such was the strength of Interlandi's hatred of the Jews that he was personally told by Benito Mussolini to moderate his language.

[4] Interlandi continued to write following the establishment of the Republic of Salò, mainly for Giovanni Preziosi's Vita Italiana journal.

[4] Although he had no direct involvement with the neo-fascist Italian Social Movement, his writings were an important ideological influence on Giorgio Almirante.
