Abstract

The Italian community in Portugal between the two world wars was made up of the subject of calls to promote the Fascist Regime among Italians abroad through the regimentation in mass organisations and the appeal to the fascist civil religion. The myths of the universality of Fascism, of the common Latin and Catholic origins, of the empire, of the uomo nuovo and the dissemination of the achievements of Fascism had the dual aims of enhancing the consent of the Italian immigrants and ATTRACT the sympathies of the local elites for the fascist political model. The network of fasci and Italian schools abroad were the main instruments of this action. A crucial help came from the Ecclesiastical structures, part of the community. | the Italian community in Portugal during the interwar period was the subject of the efforts to promote the fascist regime among Italians abroad through the framing of mass organisations and practices of the Fascist civil religion. The myths of the universality of fascism, latinity and common Catholic origins in host countries, the empire, the uomo nuovo and the dissemination of the achievements of fascism had the dual aim of strengthening the consensus of Italian immigrants and attracting the sympathies of local elites towards the fascist political model. The main instruments of this action were the network of Italian fasci all’estero and schools. Decisive aid came from ecclesiastical structures, an integral part of the community.
