The article introduces an iconographic appendix investigating the relationship between the photographic images taken during the events in Parma in August 1922 and the policies of memory related to these events, launched by Fascism both locally and nationally. After outlining the genesis and salient features of the ‘images of the Barricades’, starting with the original shots by photographer Armando Amoretti, the author reconstructs how these pictures served to construct the Fascist memory of the event by analyzing three sources: a 1923 photo album conserved in the Archive of the Municipality of Parma, Italo Balbo’s Diario 1922 and the materials sent for the 1932 Exhibition of the Fascist Revolution.
