Writings on Evola edit

De Turris is known for defending the Italian far-right philosopher Julius Evola and portraying him as a thinker "committed more to a detached criticism of the contemporary world similar to Nietzsche's critique of nihilism than to political engagement."[2]

He is also the editor-in-chief of Evola's works in Italian with the publisher Edizioni Mediterranee.[3]
