The intersection between film stardom and politics is an
understudied phenomenon of Fascist Italy, despite the fact that the
Mussolini regime deemed stardom important enough to warrant
sustained attention and interference. Focused on the period from
the start of sound cinema to the final end of Fascism in 1945, this
book examines the development of an Italian star system and
evaluates its place in film production and distribution. The
performances and careers of several major stars, including Isa
Miranda, Vittorio De Sica, Amedeo Nazzari, and Alida Valli, are
closely analyzed in terms of their relationships to the political
sphere and broader commercial culture, with consideration of their
fates in the aftermath of Fascism. A final chapter explores the
place of the stars in popular memory and representations of the
Fascist film world in postwar cinema.
