Emilio Ghione and the Mask of Za La Mort
Get PDFThis study aims to examine the cultural impact of Emilio Ghione's Za La Mort films (1914-1924) on Italian culture. These films constitute a significant Italian combination of several early cinema genres and sub-genres, such as the apache film, the traces of which have almost entirely disappeared. More broadly, the changing interpretations of Za La Mort figure allow us to understand wider shifts in Italian and European popular culture.
The first chapter of the study considers the wealth of influences from European popular culture that Emilio Ghione merged into the apache films, such as the apache sub-culture in Paris. The second chapter of the study then reconstructs the Za La Mort filmography, most of which has now been lost, from film viewings and archival documents. The third chapter considers Emilio Ghione's Za La Mort novels and theatrical productions in the years 1922-1930, and Ghione's attempts to make Za La Mort a more Fascist and nationalistic figure. The fourth chapter considers the enduring figure of Za La Mort in Italian popular culture, especially in Raffaele Matarazzo's Fumeria D'Oppio and a 1940's fumetti series. The fifth chapter considers the audience reception of the Za La Mort films from the limited remaining evidence and, positioning the series between the Cinema of Attractions of the 1900s and the Classical Cinema of the mid-1920's, analyses how the Za La Mort films were constructed to please a predominantly working class audience that valued spectacular thrills and great acting performances over narrative consistency and stable characterisation.
This research re-establishes the importance of one of Italian cinema's most important film-makers of the silent period, and his enduring importance as a popular cultural figure in Italy

Alternative producer-consumer relationships: the AgroGeoTrace project and the speciality products virtual roads
Get PDFThe AgroGeoTrace (AGT) project makes use of Geographical Information Systems and multichannel information technologies to facilitate the access of final consumers to local food speciality products. The project builds a prototype of an informative system designed, first, to help consumers to understand the agronomic and technological characteristics that make the targeted products special ones, and, second, to precisely and easily locate the sites (farms and oil mills) where they can buy them. The information made available through the project is intended to the symbolic relocalization of the regional products, hence to promote them and to create added value. The final outcomes of the project are the virtual maps of on-farm shops made available on Digital television (channel In+), PDAs and mobile phones.food speciality products, short agro-food chains, Geographical Information Systems, Agribusiness,

Emilio Cecchi, il giornalismo culturale e la nascita dell’americanistica italiana
Get PDFBy retracing his writings on American literature and culture, this essay examines Emilio Cecchi’s trajectory in the Italian field as forerunner of American studies in our country. While it appears an unassailable truth that Elio Vittorini and Cesare Pavese were the heralds of the American myth in Italy – sort of new pilgrim fathers re-discovering America as anti-fascist democratic gold standard –, Cecchi, by contrast, has been mainly read as America’s most disparaging critic, the spokesman of the fascist policies of cultural protectionism. Reassessing Cecchi’s writings about American literature and culture, this essay suggests that Italian American studies emerged from a route which does not completely match the mythographic project characterizing Vittorini’s and Pavese’s ideas of America. Indeed, Cecchi’s position-takings as a reporter and cultural journalist were crucial in paving the way for the subsequent development of an Italian school of Americanists
