Giovanni Battista Scaroni, director of Italian Youth of the Lictor in Vicenza and
landowner in Tripolitania, was an amateur filmmaker.
Family and Fatherland explores Scaroni's images, taken between 1934 and
1938: family moments, field trips, but also the journeys to the former colonies in
Libya and rallies of Italian Fascist youth organization. A private point of view on
the regime at its peak, in which even the home movies reveal a certain
inspiration of propaganda.
