In the Thirties, the theme of the Empire gained centrality in the Fascist project. Into the debate on the colonial rule, certain intellectuals introduced the myth of corporatism, outlining a new institutional system: the “corporatist colonialism”. According to this perspective, the colonial space represented the most suitable context in order to create a socio-economic cooperation among all the producers. Moreover, a corporatist policy had to legitimize the Fascist Empire as a new colonial model, different from the other European empires. The article deals with this project, which has been underestimated by scholars.
