Writings on Evola

edit

De Turris is known for his work on the Italian far-right philosopher Julius Evola, who he portrays as a thinker "committed more to a detached criticism of the contemporary world similar to Nietzsche's critique of nihilism than to political engagement."[3]

He is also the editor-in-chief of Evola's works in Italian with the publisher Edizioni Mediterranee.[4]
