In the Spanish and French editions, both from 2015, I found it opportune to slightly update the text, introducing a few more recent examples of the political use of the Middle Ages, compared to what appeared in the Italian original (2011). Since then, however, many years have passed. National governments, popes, and US presidents have come and gone, balances of power have shifted, many events have transpired, and a new awareness of the fundamental importance of medievalism in the cultural and political life of the West has made itself known. For this reason, I have preferred not to continue the pursuit of a chronology of facts, limiting myself to correcting a few imprecisions and to augmenting the bibliography. Some more recent examples of political medievalism are discussed in the epilogue.
