Fotografie im Italienischen Faschismus. (Photography in Italian Fascism)

An historical overview of photography as mass-medium, its
control by the fascist system in Italy, and its use as visual
propaganda. The history of the 'L'Unione Cinematografica
Educativa' (LUCE) and the part played by the 'Ministry of
Propaganda' ('Ministerio della culture popolare' = 'Minculpop')
is researched. The most important means of conveying visual
propaganda are depicted: big exhibitions and the illustrated
magazines, some based on the Life model. Forerunners of post-war
Italian photographers are described. (German)
