- Description:
- "Giovinezza" is a composition by Giuseppe Blanc dating from 1909, which received lyrics from at least three different authors. The song was used as the hymn of the National Fascist Party (NFP) alongside "All'armi" from its creation in November 1921, before a new version with lyrics by Salvatore Gotta became the official anthem in 1924. Popular, it became the national anthem of Fascist Italy, alongside the "Marcia Reale", which signifies the pre-Fascist monarchical aspect, and thus the historical continuity, of the Italian nation. Often featured on records also including "Marcia Reale", it was the most recorded hymn under Benito Mussolini's government, in instrumental versions or sung by adults and children alike. The intensity of this presence is one of the signs of the central symbolic and political role played by youth in the regime's project of national regeneration, which also provided a framework for the fascization of young Italians in and out of school, with the creation of several dedicated institutions from the mid-1920s onwards (see Bruno Wanrooij, "Giovinezza", in Victoria De Grazia & Sergio Luzzatto (eds), Dizionario del fascismo. Vol. 1, A-K, Milano, Arnoldo Mondadori Editore, 2019, p. 600-604).
