Abstract
An unpublished document sheds light on the delicate political and cultural period of the first 20 years of the 20thcentury. The scene is, at once, that of Freemasonry in its official positions and its internal vicissitudes, while the background is the complex ideological interweaving between interventionist streams, nationalist but also – and mostly – spiritualistic and anti-positivist, which in that historical period were preparing the ground where Futurism would soon have germinated. The document we are illustrating now is highly precious and useful, both in order to shed light on some the above-mentioned dynamics, and because it provides details that were scarcely known until now, regarding its illustrious author: in fact, he is the well-known mathematician, esotericist and occultist Arturo Reghini, who in 1919 calls upon Domizio Torrigiani, at that time Grand Master of the Grande Oriente d’Italia, with a Memorandum around a disciplinary investigation by the military authority whose object is the Br.
