Title |
The Relief Scandal in Montreal's Italian Community and its Political Background: Fascio, Consulate and the Roman Catholic Parish of the Church of the Madonna della Difesa, October 1932-July 1933
|
Abstract |
The essay is divided into three inter-woven parts. The first deals with the ravage of the Great Depression in Canada; the second explores the Canadian clerical and secular establishment's view of fascism and its local Italian proponents; the last part unravels the collaboration in Montreal among local Italian fascists, the Italian Consulate, the priests of the Italian Catholic Parish of Madonna della Difesa and the Saint Vincent de Paul Society, which was in charge of assisting needy people across the city. The author points out that in 1932, with the approval of the Madonna della Difesa Parish priest, Zanobri Manfriani, the Saint Vincent de Paul Society gave the task of dispensing relief to Catholic Italians of Montreal's Mile End district to the local Italian fascio Luporini and its leader, Ottorino Incoronato. After a few months, Incoronato, to avoid being charged with fraud, left Canada in a hurry, for good.
