Our story o ers a fuller look at Severi's political dossier during the inter-war years and beyond. Primary sources range from the personal correspondence of Beniamino Segre and Oscar Zariski to Italian government records of the Fascist period in the Archivio Centrale dello Stato (ACS) to documents in the historical archives of the University of Rome and the Lincei. The whereabouts of Severi's personal papers is a mystery, and it is possible that he destroyed them. Some mathematicians may nd a recounting of his activities under Fascism uncalled for, preferring to recall only his considerable mathematical legacy. (Again, see the appendix for a nontechnical discussion of some of the most important parts of this legacy.) Others are content to allow the proverbial skeletons in the closet to remain undisturbed.
