„I think most anthroposophists are still unaware of Scaligero's racial writings. Even Italian anthroposophists, who have ready access to the texts themselves. Scaligero denied his own racism in his autobiography (in fact he cast his racial writings from the Fascist era as anti-racist), and lots of anthroposophists have simply taken this at face value. What is a little more surprising is that anthroposophists seem entirely unaware of the existing scholarship on the history of Fascist race policy, which discusses not only Scaligero's role in the racist campaign, but that of other Fascist anthroposophists as well, such as Ettore Martinoli and Aniceto Del Massa. In any case, Scaligero's racist publications are not hard to find in Italy. I think it would be good if anthroposophical admirers of Scaligero would familiarize themselves with this aspect of his work.“
