- Description:
- Italy's entry into the Second World War in June 1940 was accompanied by a large production of light songs with military overtones. These songs, whose themes - like others before them - included heroism and sacrifice in battle, patriotic and Fascist faith, the love of parents, wives and children, the invasion of England and the alliance with Nazi Germany, were mostly sung by men. They are broadcast on the radio, in the press (Il Canzoniere della radio) or as sheet music, and are recorded by the major record companies. In addition to the phonographic repertoire of these light songs, there was also a repertoire of purely military songs and music, representing a particular army corps, as well as older songs, some of them taken from popular films. All these songs and musics are aimed as much at the audience of those who stayed behind as at the soldiers who went to the front, but they are not all successful and pose a stratigic problem for war propaganda. The records that carry them are often grouped together, within the catalogs of the companies that sell them, in sections dedicated to wartime phonography (see Pietro Cavallo & Pasquale Iaccio, Vincere! Fascismo e società italiana nelle canzoni e nelle riviste di varietà (1935-1943), Napoli, Liguori editore, 2003, pp. 109-136).
