Abstract/Summary

This article examines how Italian travel writings focused on Libya and Tunisia promoted an imperialist consensus before the invasion of Libya in 1911–1912. The texts of Domenico Tumiati and Enrico Corradini contributed to the project of expressing a new masculinity inspired by ancient Rome, or romanità. This project, at the dawn of colonial archeology in North Africa, required the digging of vestiges of Roman antiquity and the classical memory of the authors.
