About Renzo De Felice
- Renzo De Felice (8 April 1929 – 25 May 1996) was an Italian historian, who specialized in the Fascist era, writing, among other works, a 6000-page biography of Mussolini (4 volumes, 1965–1997).
- He argued that Mussolini was a revolutionary modernizer in domestic issues but a pragmatist in foreign policy who continued the Realpolitik policies of Italy from 1861 to 1922.
- Historian of Italy Philip Morgan has called De Felice's biography of Mussolini, "a very controversial, influential and at the same time problematic re-reading of Mussolini and Fascism," and, furthermore, rejected the contention that his work rose above politics to "scientific objectivity" as claimed by the author and his defenders.
