Benedetto Croce (died in 1952) is a leading Italian philosopher. His major contribution to philosophy was in the area of historical meaning. Croce’s place in the wider realm of history is the result of his enormous prestige in Italy and the world that allowed him to criticize Benito Mussolini and the fascist government of Italy and avoid consequences due to his renown at home and abroad. Benedetto Croce’s philosophy and political activity remain a positive force in Italy today.
