How far were their world views radically altered and reshaped by the regime? This book explores the day-to-day 'lived experience' of fascism in the city of Venice during the 1930s. It charts the attempts of the fascist regime to infiltrate and reshape Venetians' everyday lives, their attitudes and beliefs. Crucially, the intentions of the regime are compared with the responses of 'ordinary' Venetians to the intrusions of the fascist state into their daily lives, revealing the complexities of the reality of everyday life under fascism. 19 02 Research based on a wide variety of source material, including children's essays and Venetian memoirs A strong and innovative theoretical framework based around the ideas of everyday practice and reception theory to highlight the potential gap between intention and reception First detailed book-length study of the experience of fascism in Venice Focus on Venice during the early twentieth century rather than, as is most common for historical works, during the Venetian republic and empire 02 02 This book explores the day-to-day 'lived experience' of fascism in Venice during the 1930s, charting the attempts of the fascist regime to infiltrate and reshape Venetians' everyday lives and their responses to the intrusions of the fascist state. 04 02 Prologue: Historiography and Method Introduction: 'Elbow to elbow': Venetian life between the Wars 'Make way for the young': Growing up in 1930s Venice Remembering the Serenissima: Festivals and Celebrations in 1930s Venice 'Make every Italian family a fortress': Consumption, Family and the 'home front' in Venice during the Ethiopian War Death in Venice: The 'fascistisation' of Dand Funeral Rituals in 1930s Venice Epilogue Conclusion Bibliography 13 02 KATE FERRIS Lecturer in Modern European History at the University of St Andrews, UK, with research and teaching interests in modern Italian and Spanish history. 31 02 This book explores the day-to-day 'lived experience' of fascism in Venice during the 1930s
