No full textAuthor reconstructs for the first time the course of the two periodicals for children and young people – «Aquilotti d’Italia» (1928-1930) and «Il Tamburino della gioventù italiana all’estero» (1931-1943) –, published by the Segreteria Generale dei Fasci Italiani all’Estero and mainly aimed at children and young people coming from the Italian communities living outside the national borders. After having analyzed the approach and the different characteristics of the two periodicals, A. examines with a wealth of details their role carried out firstly on the national and patriotic education and secondly with regard to the Fascistization of Italian young people abroad, especially since the mid-thirties
Training a generation of «educational virgins». Il romanzo d’una maestra (1901) by Ida Baccini between autobiografy and the relaunch of «female teaching vocation»
No full textThrough a detailed study of the important but little known Il romanzo di una maestra (1901) by the writer for children Ida Baccini, the author dwells on the evolution of the image of the literary school teacher in Italy in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, showing how the narrative of Baccini constitutes a real change from works of the same kind that appeared in previous decades. In particular, the story published in 1901 by the Florentine writer was trying to represent and give voice to a world of female teachers that is very different from that which characterized the denunciation novels of Matilde Serao and Edmondo De Amicis
The work and the thought of Edmondo De Amicis in France today. About a recent publication Edmondo De Amicis fra letteratura e società : a proposito di una recente e importante pubblicazione francese
No full textThe work and the thought of Edmondo De Amicis in France today. About a recent publication ABSTRACT: This article focuses on the diffusion of the work and thought of the writer Edmondo De Amicis in contemporary France. Through the analysis of the contributions of a recent monographic issue on the theme published in the prestigious international magazine «Transalpina», the author reconstructs the fundamental stages of the writer’s biographical itinerary and the dissemination of his main works in the French territory, giving particular attention not only for De Amicis’ best known masterpieces but also for all those works, which although considered minor, have contributed to define the poetics of one of the most famous Italian writers of the nineteenth century
The Pigna Paper Mill and the exercise books of the “New Italy” (1870-1960)
No full textFor the very first time this in-depth paper studies the archives of the historic Paolo Pigna Paper Mill in Alzano Lombardo (Bergamo, Italy), which played a leading role in Italian history and culture: so much so that it ended up with fusing its own image to the very market where it operated, that is, the Italian schools. After being taken over by Paolo Pigna in 1867, the great paper mill immediately became known not only for its high-quality production but also for keeping abreast of technology and emerging in a sector of the economy, which in the mid-1800s was fragmented into a multitude of small and poorly mechanized artisan workshops. The Author retraces one hundred years of the history of the company and its production for schools: in particular its production of exercise books – a simple but effective and all-pervading medium of iconic-verbal messages (moral, educational, propagandistic, religious, etc.).
Questo saggio analizza, per la prima volta in maniera approfondita, gli archivi delle storiche Cartiere Pigna di Alzano Lombardo (Bergamo), che ebbero un ruolo fondamentale nella storia e nella cultura italiane, al punto da arrivare a fondere la propria immagine con il mercato stesso su cui operarono, vale a dire la scuola italiana. Dopo la fondazione da parte di Paolo Pigna nel 1867, la Pigna divenne nota non solo per la produzione di alta qualità ma anche per la modernità delle tecnologie impiegate – ciò che la fece subito emergere in un settore economico che, a metà dell’Ottocento, era frammentato in una miriade di piccole industrie di tipo artigianale e scarsamente avanzate dal punto di vista tecnologico. L’autrice ricostruisce un secolo di storia della cartiera e la sua produzione per le scuole, in particolare di quaderni scolastici, strumenti semplici, ma allo stesso tempo efficaci e assai pervasivi, capaci di veicolare messaggi sia iconici che verbali (di tipo morale, educativo, propagandistico, religioso, etc.)
Per l’educazione patriottica e nazionale degli italiani all’estero l’edizione postuma del libro di lettura o Patria mia di Luigi Bertelli (Vamba) e la sua diffusione in Brasile - For patriotic and national education of italians abroad: the posthumous edition of the book o patria mia of Luigi Bertelli (Vamba) and its dissemination in Brazil
No full textOn the basis of a rich archival and printed documentation, the article reconstructs, for the first time, the genesis, the contents, the ideological and cultural trends and the particular editorial success, in Italy and abroad, of one of the most famous and long-running books for the Italian schools abroad published between the two world wars: O Patria mia⋯worthy nurse of the clear people, posthumous work by the famous writer for children Luigi Bertelli, better known by the majority of his young readers with the pseudonym Vamba. The Author dwells, in particular, on the original nationalist, but not Fascist, character of Vamba's work, which, after the establishment in Italy of Mussolini's regime, was subjected, as required by the Florentine publisher Bemporad, to a sort of fascistization of the contents. Nevertheless, the work was never loved by the regime, so much that, in the mid-thirties, although its wide spread, for example, in the Italian schools in Brazil, it was replaced with texts ideologically and politically more in line with the fascist totalitarianism addresses
The image of Giuseppe Mazzini in history textbooks from italian unification to the end of world war II (1861-1945)
No full textThe image of Giuseppe Mazzini and the Mazzinian movement is reconstructed as chronicled in Italian history texts used in public primary and secondary schools, that is to say those textbooks which enjoyed a much wider circulation and therefore contributed far more significantly to the creation of a collective image of the life and work of this figure. Analyzing omissions, as well as censorship and myths, the infinite and surprising metamorphoses for ideological and political purposes that this historical figure has undergone, can be followed and rebuilt through manuals of five historical periods: the first decade following Unification; the period from the early 1870s to the late 1880s; the last decade of the nineteenth century; the Giolitti era; and finally the post-WWI period through the mid-1920s and the years of Fascist totalitarianism. The scholastic texts return to us the trends of the national historiographic point and the different projects designed to build the national identity and shape the civil and political ethic for new generations. At the same time, the history schoolbooks witness the development process of that national pedagogy which, in different post-Unification periods, inspired and nurtured the teaching activity in Italian schools.
L'articolo ricostruisce l’immagine di Giuseppe Mazzini e del movimento mazziniano così come essi venivano raccontati nei manuali di storia in uso nelle scuole pubbliche primarie e secondarie, vale a dire quei libri di testo che conobbero una diffusione molto ampia e, quindi, contribuirono in modo assai significativo alla creazione di un'immagine collettiva della vita e dell’operato di questa figura. Analizzando le omissioni così come l’opera di censura e di mitizzazione, è possibile seguire le infinite e sorprendenti metamorfosi, per fini ideologici e politici, che questa figura storica subì, ricostruendole attraverso i manuali di cinque diversi periodi storici: il decennio successivo all’unificazione, il periodo dai primi anni 1870 alla fine del 1880, l'ultimo decennio del XIX secolo, l'età giolittiana, e infine il periodo tra il primo dopoguerra, passando per il ventennio e il totalitarismo fascista. I testi scolastici riflettono le tendenze della storiografia nazionale e dei diversi progetti volti a costruire l'identità nazionale e a modellare l'etica civile e politica per le nuove generazioni. Allo stesso tempo, i manuali di storia testimoniano il processo di sviluppo della pedagogia nazionale che, nei diversi periodi successivi all’unificazione, ispirarono e nutrirono l'attività didattica nelle scuole italiane
Metamorfosi della cittadinanza. Studi e ricerche su insegnamento della storia, educazione civile e identità nazionale in Italia tra Otto e Novecento

No full textThis paper intends to assess the forms and methods through which the
Italian cultural heritage and its landscape and natural resources have been the subject of
an organic presentation and reproduced on the covers of school exercise books for the
purpose of promoting national identity and civil consciousness in the younger generations.
The school exercise books, with their different and richly illustrated covers, in fact, stroke
the imagination of generations of students, becoming much more than a modest teaching
support or a minor element of the educational kit
A "Homeland Religion" for educating the Italian people. The history manual by Lorenzo Bettini (1882), from didactic innovation to "sacralisation" of the Risorgimento Epic
No full textThrough the innovative and successful history manual for primary school first published in 1885 by Lorenzo Bettini I Martiri e i Fattori della Unita e Indipendenza d'Italia ("The Martyrs of Italy, and the Makers of her Unity and Independence") a new approach towards the narration of the Risorgimento epic was introduced in history teaching in primary and popular schools. The innovative character lies in the fact that the manual was, on the one hand, aimed at promoting a strong national sentiment in the younger generations by teaching the examples and stories of the Risorgimento charismatic figures; on the other hand, it reflected the new modern pedagogical and Positivist orientation both in primary teaching and in teachers' training, which would find in patriotic history itself the basic element for didactic renewal as well as the crucial tool for the nationalization of the people of the new unified Italian state
