Section A
Answer Question 01.
Source A
From a speech to the Italian parliament by Orazio Raimondo, 6 December 1913.
Raimondo was a Socialist politician.
Giolitti has an overwhelming personal majority. The truth is that under a democratic banner
we have gradually arrived at a dictatorial regime. Giolitti has four times conducted the
elections, in 1892, 1904, 1909 and 1913. In his long political career he has nominated all
the senators, prefects, and all the other high officials in the country. With this enormous
power of his, he has gained support through his reforms and through giving personal
5
attention to individual deputies. Politicians have abandoned their political beliefs and
majorities are now formed by trickery and corruption. In this way parliament is weakened
and transformism, which cannot be justified in any way, is achieved.
Source B
From ‘A History of Italy 1871–1915’ by Benedetto Croce, published 1927. Croce was a
minister in Giolitti’s government in 1920–1921. He was an academic, historian and anti-
fascist.
Giolitti held the reins of power for nearly eight years in total between 1903 and 1914. He
was recognised by everyone as a man of great skill and had a wide experience of
parliament. Giolitti had a wholehearted devotion to his country, a strong political sense,
and clear-cut ideas. In his speech he reduced his ideas to their simplest and most
essential form, so that he overcame opposition by the impression which he gave of his 5
practical wisdom. To a man of his democratic views, it was natural for him to feel
sympathy with the sufferings and needs of the poorer classes.
0 1 With reference to these sources and your understanding of the historical context, which
of these two sources is more valuable in explaining the role of Giolitti in Italian politics
before 1914?
