Description

The documentation of Marià de Montoliu and de Rocabruna on the Anti-Duel League (1900–1915) reflects a European movement of an ethical and pacifist nature that sought to abolish the practice of dueling, still rooted among the elites. Montoliu, a Catalan intellectual and reformist, promoted this initiative from Barcelona, ​​connecting with international currents that promoted the civilization of customs and the non-violent resolution of conflicts. This documentation shows the will to modernize Catalan society and align it with the European values ​​of progress, rationality and respect for life.
