Ave Caesar reflects on the ghost of Fascism that cyclically returns from the past.
Italy struggles to come to terms with its past and today Fascism is hiding behind populist movements because in an era of strong social crises, the dream of sacrificing democracy to rely on a new Caesar remains. Old ideologies that belong to the past seem to return to the surface but they run the risk of making us drown because they lead only to isolation and impoverishment.
Ave Caesar speaks of all fascist regimes and attempts of dictatorial recrudescence that cyclically come to the limelight in Europe, but not only these. The fear of not understanding the age of social crises we are experiencing brings people to choose primitive leaders that have easy answers to difficult questions. Their high-sounding and threatening voice that speaks by appealing to the worst instincts of people, becomes an indistinct sound like in Ave Caesar where reasoning is lacking but the slogan prevails. Exactly as it happens in social media communication. Today just as in the past. Whether "America First" or "Italians first", not much changes in intentions.
