Was fascism truly over in 1960s Italy? Half a century of Italian history is reconstructed with exclusive repertory footage—from the Libyan war to the Peace of Versailles, the turmoil of the post-war period to fascist terror and corruption… up to the Resistance and the events of July 1960.

Released at the height of an economic boom and in the aftermath of the 1960 Genoa revolt, this influential film uses archival materials to chart the continued evolution of fascist ideologies in Italy. A powerful cry against collective amnesia, co-directed by documentary pioneer Cecilia Mangini.
