passatismo / hidebound traditionalism


Explanation:
I suggest you should leave 'passatismo' in Italian and provide a translation in brackets (i.e. "hidebound traditionalism").

As you know, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti's 'passatismo' is an important '-ism' in the cultural context of the first half of the 20th century.
