the Fifties by Eugenio and Alberto Mario
Cirese, who published the two volumes of
Canti popolari del Molise (Rieti, 1953) (in 1953,
meanwhile, came out Lucecabelle, by E.
Cirese and in 1955, posthumously, Poesie
molisane) and founded the review of
popular history and literature La Lapa (1953-
55), which heralded future times much more
responsive to the messages set down in its
pages by Ernesto De Martino, Paolo Toschi,
Pier Paolo Pasolini, Diego Carpitella,
Giuseppe Petronio and other important
experts in the field; this climate would be
felt in the province also, which arranged for
the publication (1952) of the III and IV
volumes of Masciotta’s Molise, once again
called upon to act as the historiographic
basis for the region’s autonomistic design,
which was realized a few years later (1963),
