In the German translation of Imperialismo Pagano (Heidnischer Imperialismus,
Armanen Verlag, Leipzig 1933) it is explained by the translator that Evola is
descended from a patrician family of Nordic-Norman origin and adds: "Evola =
Hevelar". (page 111)
Although Evola never regarded private details as having any significance for his
works, this still has certain relevance as a form of "karmic influence" on his
thoughts, regardless if he was aware of it or not.
Could Evola actually trace back his lineage to the 11th century norman
conquerors of Sicily? Does anyone have further knowledge regarding this
genealogical detail?
