Violet Gibson: the mysteries behind the attack on Mussolini
How would the story have gone if….
this question often arises at the basis of uchronic narrative, that is to say that type of fantastic narrative that exposes an alternative reality to the current one, in short, the story made with is, precisely. Sometimes, however, this question goes beyond the simple creative effort to enhance real figures who were one step away from upsetting history, providing contemporaries with idols to adore, crystallizing them in an eternal self…they, who touched the inevitability of history, become examples to be admire because their intent transformed into action remained in the field of unexpressed, therefore infinite, possibilities, which, having not been realized, makes them unable to judge.
From 2022, at number 12 Merrion Square, in Dublin, a commemorative plaque will celebrate one of these idols whose intent remained unexpressed, thus providing a chronicle to his supporters who see in his actions an alternative to their taste compared to reality. If we remove the confused post-modern revaluations, however, that commemorative plaque really imposes on us a big self, many questions, which will almost certainly remain eluded. The first one we can ask ourselves can only be this: what would have happened if on April 7, 1926, Violet Gibson's gun had not jammed in an attempt to assassinate the Italian Prime Minister?
The Duke of Cesarò
This video speaks hypothetically, since the truth about this story is unlikely to come out, in fact, although Gibson's supporters have reconstructed her story by presenting her as a pseudo-feminist heroine who tried to assassinate a tyrant thus saving the whole of Europe, the story presents several obscure points and involved very influential and authoritative figures who exploited these characteristics to hide the truth, probably using Gibson for their purposes, giving us, in reality, the image of her as a sad figure far from any apologetic reconstruction.
