Summary/Abstract: Analysing the views of Claudio Pavone in his book Una guerra civile; Saggio storico sulla moralna nella Resistenza (A Civil War; A Historical Essay on the Morality of the Resistence), the author compares it with similar questions regarding contemporary Slovenian resistence. He determines a major difference in the strategic position of the Resistenza which enabled Italy to enter, through the Civil War, the postwar political system on the side of the victors. He finds the Italian Catholic clergy ambivalent and calculating with regards to the resistence movement. Amongst the Slovenian clergy, on the other hand, he detects a sharp anti-resistence orientation which is the consequence of a narrower political basis to the resistence.
