At a café in a mountain town east of Rome, Benjamin Harnwell was wondering which of the five thousand applicants to his right-wing âgladiator schoolâ he could introduce to a reporter without embarrassment. He thought of four, and dialled one up. âA journalist is looking to speak to some students,â he said into the phone, âand I donât want him to wind up talking to some skinhead.â He listened, a religious medal rattling against his chest, his slicked-back hair shining. Harnwell hung up, saying that heâd been kidding about the skinhead thing. He then sped off in a white Fiat Punto, heading to the Certosa di Trisulti, a vast, eight-hundred-year-old charterhouse that is both his home and the site of his school.
