Abstract

This article reconstructs the American policy regarding the Italian Agrarian Reform, launched by the De Gasperi government from 1950 onwards. The USA government carefully followed the political and technical discussions related to the agrarian reform and financed through the Marshall Plan, after 1947, many land reclamation projects related to the transformation of the Italian agriculture. In the article’s first part, some protagonists of the Truman administration involved in Marshall Plan are introduced. In the second place, the American foreign policy towards Italy in the primary sector and the position of USA regarding the agrarian reform and the peasant struggles, especially in Calabria, are analyzed. Finally, the article describes the results of some studies, written by American officers, on the political effects of the reform in the elections of 1952 and the 1953.
