La presente tesi ha come oggetto di ricerca la riscoperta e l’approfondimento della vicenda storica e intellettuale di Richard Nikolaus Coudenhove-Kalergi, in qualità di fondatore di uno dei progetti di unità europea più importanti del Novecento, la “Paneuropa”. La ricerca ha avuto, come primo obiettivo, quello di sondare soprattutto le modalità con cui l’Italia recepì il suo messaggio durante gli anni Venti e Trenta, risultato ottenuto attraverso l’analisi di alcune tra le riviste e testate giornalistiche più rappresentative di quegli anni. Il lavoro ha successivamente dimostrato non solo se e quanto la cultura italiana fosse attenta alle dinamiche europee, ma anche il numero e la qualità dei rapporti amicali che Coudenhove-Kalergi, durante la sua vita, fu in grado di intrecciare con numerose personalità note e meno note del panorama italiano. / The present dissertation is focused on the rediscover and in-depth analysis of the biography and intellectual life of Richard Nikolaus Coudenhove-Kalergi, as a founder and promoter of one the most important European unity projects in the XXth century, "Paneuropa". The research had, at first, the purpose to investigate how Italy adopted his message during the ’20s and ’30s, particularly analyzing some periodicals, magazines and newspapers most representative of those years. Afterwards, it has been demonstrated not only if and how much Italian culture was attentive to European dynamics, but also the number and quality of friendly bonds that Coudenhove-Kalergi was able to establish during his life with many more or less well-known personalities of the Italian scenario.

This study examines Churchill's struggle during the summer of 1940 to preserve Britain's naval superiority worldwide, through the neutralization of the French fleet and by securing the active participation of the United States. Sources consulted included autobiographies of the participants, especially those by Churchill, Reynaud, Baudouin, and Weygand, document collections, and British and American official histories. This study is organized to give a chronological analysis of Churchill's efforts from 10 May to 2 September 1940, ending with the United States' acceptance of the destroyers-for-bases agreement. This act committed them to shared strategical responsibilities with Great Britain. The thesis concludes that Churchill's efforts in this period laid the foundation for later Allied victory.

Text in English / This qualitative psychobiographical study sets out to explore and describe the life of Sir Winston Churchill within the context of his lifelong experience with depression, his ‘Black Dog’. The aim of the research is to present a case for depressive realism with Churchill as the single case study. The reconstruction of Churchill’s life as a psychological narrative is contextualised within the theoretical framework of Alfred Adler’s Theory of Individual Psychology. Data was collated via biographical and life history material. Data was analysed by means of thematic analysis. Data trustworthiness and ethical considerations were adhered to. The findings of this study reveal that Churchill’s depression had positive gains of him striving to contribute to society, potentially demonstrating that depressive realism exists as a side-effect of depression. The significance of which, conceivably substantiates the idea that positive aspects of depression do exist, enabling a potentially more encouraging and constructive outlook for individuals suffering from depression. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)
