Summary: | This article analyses the double conversion of a group of Italian women, first to communism then to Catholicism. Offspring of the bourgeois catholic families of Turin, these women became extreme-left activists in the 1960s and 1970s. Today they are active members in traditional catholic milieus: more specifically, they live close to a catholic monastery, carrying out services for the male community. The specific aim of the contribution is to understand whether and to what extent religion influenced the political choice (and vice versa). From a micro-history perspective, the study focuses on the categories of believing, belonging and behaving in both the political and religious communities. |
