In the heart of the 20th century there is a page of History that is one of the least explored. The League of Nations, active since 1920, was the first experiment in the management of international politics through a permanent body of mediation between states. Of its history, most remember only a few inglorious images; soon overwhelmed by the conflicting interests of the most powerful nations, the LofN succumbs to the confrontation with the nascent dictatorships, and actually dies with the outbreak of the WWII, only to be replaced by the UN. The fact that History has taken different paths from those indicated by the great idealists who had conceived the LofN does not in any way diminish the visionary power of their action. Retracing their human and existential parable and their political action means exploring a key moment in our History when the dream of perpetual peace between peoples was tragically overturned, with consequences that still tragically mark our present time.
