Italia dall'A alla Z

Propaganda was an important tool and strategy used by the Fascist regime leading up to World War II. While their propaganda knew no boundaries, the audience this propaganda was most intended for was children. Through the creation of a fascist alphabet book, intended to target Italian children living abroad, Mussolini was able to spread his propaganda to young minds across the world and help spread his indoctrination. This book was published in 1936 and was created by Vincenzo Fraschetti, Carlo Testi, and Piero Parini.

In exploring the complex intersectionality of Italian diversity during the era of fascism, this project highlights the ways in which various social categories such as age and nationality contributed to the creation of distinct identities within Italian Fascist education for children. The examination of literature's role in educating youth about fascism during Mussolini's era reflects the intricate intersections of these social categories.
