Baci rubati: amori omosessuali nell'Italia fascista

Fabrizio Laurenti, Gabriella Romano

Luca Ward, Francesco Baj

Through letters, diaries and personal testimonies, an account of the complexity and variety of experiences of LGBT Italians during the Fascist dictatorship of Benito Mussolini (1922-43); intimate words that contrast with the lyrics of popular songs and the propaganda of the time, obsessed with extolling the myths of virility, femininity and motherhood and constrained by sexual repression.
