Summary

At Christmas 1888, in Turin, Nietzsche wrote the preface to his main fulmination against Wagner which he called – as well he might – ‘an essay for psychologists, not for Germans’. Crispi was Premier of Italy at the time and was leading the country into quarrels with France and closer friendship with Germany. It was four months before Hitler’s birth. ‘I would have a word to whisper in the ears of the Italians, whom I love … an intelligent people will never make anything but a mésalliance with the Reich.’ We have seen how the Axis which Hitler created and to which Mussolini gave its name fulfilled Nietzsche’s warning.
