Pastism is the view that the present and past are real,

In pastism, we have the search for sanctuary, the lure of the exotic: “Take me somewheres east of Suez . . . . ” Pastists let the past as they know it set the agenda.

passatismo / hidebound traditionalism

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.
