Summary/Abstract: The manipulation of historical consciousness in the process of formation of nationalpatriotic attitudes in the Italian society under Mussolini is considered in this paper. The policy article “The Doctrine of Fascism” is taken as the main source for this study. It is concluded that the ideologists of fascism relied on the Roman imperial idea, the statement about the exclusivity of the Italian nation as well as on the national symbols, using vulgarized and stereotyped ideas about classical antiquity and the Roman Empire and its founders in particular.
