Figure 1.--This is the most important Italian school text for the required couese in Fascist Culture meaning Fascist ideology. While a school text book, the boys wear their Fascist Youth group uniform which were rarely worn to school. We do not know anything about the author yet. The caption read, "Per ogni ordine di Scuole e di organizzazioni," which means, "For each order of schools and organizations".

The Fascists introduced a new course into the Italian school curriculum--Coltura Fascista. This translates as Fascist Culture, but it essentialy meant Fascist ideology. This course was mandatory for all schools, both public and private. We are not sure to what extent it was taught to primary-level children. We do note textbooks for older children. There does not seem to be a separate text book for each grade, but there were general texts and some more specific texts. An Italian reader tells us the most important text was Elementi di Coltura Fascista. The caption read, "Per ogni ordine di Scuole e di organizzazioni," which means, "For each order of schools and organizations". The author was Giuseppe Pochettino. We do not yet know anything about him. This apparently was for all level schools, but we are unsure how asingle text can be used for such a wide age range. There were other more specific texts like a book by Sammartano for intermediate schools (6th-8th grades).
