the pursuit of truth. From what is available
for public scrutiny no one can confirm with
certainty that the Italian underground was solely
based on a genuine patriotic desire to unite

pope’s reaction to the masonry, whose doctrine
of NWO spirituality may have inspired the early
poetic sensibility of Carducci, discloses the
