Interview with Prof em Luigi Cajani
In the 13th episode of the interviews with “The Aggressor” project’s senior scholars, Prof em Cajani highlights the conflicting memories of Field Marshal Joseph Radetzky in Italy and Austria. Despite his brutal suppression of Italian patriots, positive evaluations of this military leader can be found in Italy from the middle of the 19th century. In Austria, however, recent critical voices signal a shift in memory culture, making even the famous Radetzky March the subject of controversy.
