Adriano was the son of Pino Romualdi, first Deputy Secretary of the
Republican Fascist Party and then president of the Post-war Fascist
party “Italian Social Movement”. He went to University in Rome, where he
was the student of the historian De Felice and the philosopher Del Noce
In the meanwhile, he began to visit the house of the Traditionalist
thinker Baron Julius Evola, and gradually became one of his most
assiduous students. Adriano's evolian perennialist interests bothered
Pino, who was of a more moderate and politically pragmatic character.
On February 1964, he took part in a violent attack on the Communist
writer as well as pedophile Pasolini and his companions. In this year he
begins the writing of three works that he will publish the next year:
Plato; A Culture for Europe; Drieu La Rochelle, the European Myth.
In 1966 he wrote the first authorised biography of his teacher Julius
Evola, which was also translated in French and Portuguese.
He worked as a journalist for virtually all Italian far-right magazines,
especially “Ordine Nuovo”.
He wrote the preface for multiple works, among which are: Robert
Brasillach's “Lettre à Un Soldat De La Classe 60”; Pierre Drieu La
Rochelle's “Ideas for a European Revolution”; Adolf Hitler's collection
of speeches “The Battle of Berlin”; Oswald Spengler's “Prussian
Socialism”
At the age of 31, he wrote an essay on Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy
and politics and he edited a compilation of Nietzschean writings. These
are “Nietzsche and the Egalitarian Mythology” and “Beyond Nihilism.
Collection of Friedrich Nietzsche's Aphorism”
The career of this Genius Europeanist Traditionalist journalist,
biographer, historian and philologue was cut short by a car accident in
1973, that would leave him dead at the young age of 32.
