- Description:
- Civil and military aviation were strongly supported by the Italian Fascist regime, particularly because of the technical and modern power they embodied, arousing admiration and prestige for those who excelled in them. The best Italian aviators were thus considered to be men of the highest calibre. Those who joined the army, fought or died in the second Italo-Ethiopian conflict were considered Fascist heroes or martyrs. In both cases, they represented important symbolic resources for Fascist propaganda; resources exploited through this recording. As indicated on the record label, this one is dedicated to the memory of Sergeant Dalmazio Birago, mortally wounded during the Italian invasion of Ethiopia, the first decorated soldier of this war, and a martyr figure.
