Giulio Evola aka. Julius Evola or Baron Giulio (1898, 1974) was an extremely controversial Italian esotericist, who started as an abstract artist but later did a total reversal of his earlier modernist and futurist views and delved deep into occult traditions including an idiosyncratic form of sex magic and a deep belief in a race of "nordic" people from the North Pole who had a crucial hand in the destruction of Atlantis.
It is hard to speak definitively about his political views if any or especially his aims. Some claim that his exaltation of a "warrior caste" may have influenced fascism and/or nazism in a roundabout way. Others point out that he rejected nationalism philosophically and in general terms.
He became paralyzed after trying to defend Vienna at the barricades from the encroaching Soviet Army in 1945 (March/April). According to Mircea Eliade he was shot in the "third Chakra".
