The article investigates those feature films specifically aimed at children in 1930s Italy. After reconstructing the advertising and promotion strategies carried out mainly by the American film companies in magazines and publications for childhood, it evaluates these cultural products’ reception by Italian teachers, principals, and educators. Finally, it interprets some film narratives by considering the interplay between film texts and paratexts and analysing the representations conveyed to point out the resonation with the values on which the Fascist regime founded childhood education.
Keywords: fascism, cinema, childhood, children’s magazines, mass culture, fascist education
