11:06 pm
. to see me and i made up her about. the by the by her but not everyone adores matteo salvini the far right leader dominating italian politics some believe his actions and slogans are reminiscent of the country's most notorious export fascism. it was born here 100 years ago could it be coming back. to understand what's happening today i 1st need to explore this violent chapter from italy's past.
11:07 pm
11:08 pm
don't really know much about my grandfather because he died when i was just a few months old and the family never hid his fascist past by the opposite but i still don't feel like i actually know enough about what happened in those years when living under fascism was like and crucially what he did with his rule. there's a place nearby called carbone a mining town created in 1038 here in southern search dania as a showcase for fascism. carved out of barren fields this town was built in every market pull. 6 out a body sort of up there what he might have had a boner was the brainchild of benito mussolini the man who ruled italy for 20 years and corinth the term fascism to describe his brand of dictatorship.
11:09 pm
my grandfather vitali pigo was chosen by his regime to be carbone yes mayor. it's not just my family's past but it's future that makes the story so poignant for me. and what you know. i'm learning my 3 year old son is half jewish and would likely have been a victim of the fascists to whom my grandfather pledged his allegiance but you know . it's quiet in this small corner of sergei near where generations of my family lived . but across the country and beyond. fascism seems to be stirring
11:10 pm
one small. i want to understand why you'd 1st took root in italy a sentry ago. jen look a scrub who is a historian at the university of calgary inserting he sees in the story of my grandfather how fascism inspired a generation. when i'm not. political and so batten down and down the sauce that it benefited the daughter the conflict don't really matter the sentiment of the condiment or the uppity achieve in iraq was the norm the president thought. force an instrument of the throne a party that happened to the normal role where they're. going to sit at a minimum origin of. the jonica bunch reported the event without their 4th and more . it's about the. encounter not in
11:11 pm
a fit with our. systematic evidence to declare the apostle paul says i do you know the good answer you know started to study done to look for she's also sure that we took the city to check not fit with their lives and their identity in question what i meant and that's our main income and i think. she's. been a persona of course is a pull did i send somebody you don't think or an individual support for that trick on me. in fact that on the next big thing but what happened to me but i shall the father to buy the stock that i should. be the from the telling tree the cowboy yeah and that's what i came out or a persona non of in say when i for the 10 on the fish.
11:12 pm
miscellanies vision of modernity autonomy and power for it was embodied in his new town. he was so proud of his creation of carbone he had that he came with much fanfare to a norm here at the city in the center of 1938. there's a witness to this event from more than 80 years ago the writer paolo fund that was here in this crowd he was 9 years old. my lady put up with the song. you know me coming up they call them to me and they'd do the wind. will they be met by norah and they're going to be all. over she startled out of the dollar. falls down boy and do.
11:13 pm
your own backyard. but i want to bet that i've got a lot of thought it. would be tough to travel. to work along a 5 fold. hold the la bella call shame a love i would feel on the $15.00 plus 10 all united in time job ok you know without so i got a boner going to be open enough that i thought and fattal made a call for inside a nap i need someone to play with all the new thought ok if you fall say of course return and she goes a bit of a tame. this new town was founded on coal it's very name derived from kind of born in the italian word for
11:14 pm
coal. so of course the mine was the center of life here. but fascism demanded more from people than just their labor. as the workers entered the mine they'd be welcomed by this sign in it it's actually signed by misleading and it says i prefer my workers to work obediently hard and possibly in silence and it really in caps relates that fascist ideal that you are calling a machine you're not a thinking being you're part of a bigger project an interesting possibly in silence i'm not sure they really had a choice because actually when the regime fell it was the mind is that a raised sign in the fire.
11:15 pm
the archives in calgary offer some valuable clues about why my grandfather was picked to be poor this stuff the fascist title for me. my grandfather knows exactly the situation and carbo nya and because he had been in a within the frat fascist trade union he would understand from the word go what the challenges faced by the workers and presumably the miners would be so that's why they choose him the archives also provide the picture of how fascism was being enforced throughout the country this includes the notorious racial laws that stripped italian jews of their jobs and rights and outlawed their books and films and these are the documents relating to the racial laws that were passed in 1038 to
11:16 pm
the poor the start so to the mayors. coming from the central fascist party in rome and it's just an outline basically of what they are all the articles provisions for the defense of the town in race there they phrase that and here is the census because a census was held across italy and here in sweden as well of that as it says here israel lights resident in the province and there's about foreign car bonior for example one of them was actually the president of the italian association of carbon . which means he was effectively in must of played a key role in putting 5 on a together and and then does you know edict comes that effectively that all these people have to be relieved of their jobs grandfather must have known commendatory sega here supposed have i also wonder what he had. would have
11:17 pm
thought knowing that then his great grandchild might have fallen foul of the racial groups who were. jews were discriminated against throughout italy and fascism imposed a strict controls on the lives of all citizens the miners and carbo nea were no exception. francesca figures his father was a minor here and during the time that my grandfather was mayor but he was an anti fascist. i'm not certain how welcoming francesco will be. they
11:18 pm
singled out of course that last it was sort of a drive in midair now and this is a serious thing because if the come from the corner of persona delta saw identical . drop at the thought i meant that the vessel got quite lucky your missing so that i presumed that it was some percentage out of prison that i knew about it or made it to what was us what other left dock you know yours and not. this one only nearby that are known. but if they got out of maine. or steal i. love all the army air as to what i meant they gave me i wouldn't wish that i'd see one of them so a lot of activists lawyered up with other than it's only that i thought they knew me you know tony siciliano. not with you because i don't know they need get on all and all but it's a. city i need to be there on the side of the anybody that ever gets on any sort of a. hit on will see what i meant the exxon again was not the man that the.
11:19 pm
in that department if you put it from the room that you priyanka use to swat is so much. to put it in one of the 2 they did it would be probably be there because they got to look at it i don't know so i checked out the confessional got to be disappointed it's also time to point to go to the moment i did a born a month wanted to be given a speech at the permit zone but in the city chunk and this limited model couple you have provided and demanded it still want to. live in a. commune of otoh the cleveland park a model and i mean you guys made nothing never to do them or to drop. all the work down here was dangerous and grueling but some of the seams in this maze of tunnels had a more sinister purpose. this was one of the hardest places to work in the mine and often political dissidents or gay
11:20 pm
people were often sent here as punishment and the director of the mine a little earlier told me the story of when he was taking some people around sure some people around on a tour and on this tour was an old miner someone would actually work here back in those days and i theme aged boy asked him in an offensive way and said what was it like working with gay people and the old miner snapped back at the boy and said they were wretches just like i was. this place of wretches became of by word for hardship. carbone his reputation was immortalized in a film featuring 2 of the world's greatest actors. in a special day but channel mr ianni tells us a few a lot in how his lover has been punished for being gay in fascist italy.
11:21 pm
so to speak. so receive. much of america the struggle to multiple. hard labor in california will also be the fate of mastery on these character. icons. but of them. the scenes between mr ianni and lauren are in trouble than with the real events of this special day. may 3rd 1938 this is the date adult hitler was welcomed in rome by mussolini and thousands of
11:22 pm
adoring fascists. the uneasy alliance between these 2 dictators eventually resulted in italy joining world war 2 in 1940. the war would make carbone year not only a place of exile but a camp for prisoners of war. the geneva convention bans prisoners from working in dangerous conditions in carbone they were forced to call . my grandfather vitale was still mayor. this chapter of certainly is history has been the focus for research or any color p.s. . in the. up and something else a lot of. comment of uganda people to dhaka. want our
11:23 pm
presence and us for a moment. just a thought a little. and then quality. the. money for the. journey to go on and on about the love i mean out of. all of us but i wanted that if you felt that if i didn't care the. other. cover. we needed. because. if i do love. you know what's out. about any kind of one of this which is an american i'm going to chair and i'm going to. find out i learned had no scope i just wanted you she that he. wasn't i
11:24 pm
want to see michelle look at. the. more when i said latina compliment the diversity but as a company was this equal but i uncovered. a full time and almost civil. was important about. the law. of a fanatical contract that's the point i'm going to the company said no problem with that cause up. there are tangible signs not only in documents and photographs of my grandfather's role in carbone me a story. but 100000 holes that he ordered be dug by prisoners were for planting trees that have grown into these woods on the edge of town.
11:25 pm
the picture that emerges of my grandfather is of a faithful follower and efficient administrator of the fascist party here inserted here. back at the house though i find the clue that is loyalty to the regime led him beyond the silly to the 3rd reich. while looking through the pictures i found this which is the coffee of a letter from nazi germany addressed to my grandfather. berlin the day 16th of may $938.00 so that's just a few months before it's leap passes racial laws. it's in german i don't understand it i want it translated i want to know what it means and i want to know its significance but it's definitely a punch in the stomach to find
11:26 pm
a letter with a swastika and heil hitler in the signature among old family photos. the buildings a record by the fascists here in carbone are still standing. the town has done a thorough job of preserving the old architecture but has had less success securing new jobs. the coal mine is closed the industrial plant deserted. it's a place as francesca told me there is a sleep a town built for work for now there is not. what i learned about my grandfather is that he believed in the fascist ideals yes building
11:27 pm
a new italy but doing so by suppressing personal freedoms and using violence against anyone who didn't fit in with those ideals he knew about this since in gay people being sent across as punishment he implemented the racial laws by banning books and films by jewish authors and he knew about the dismissal of jewish workers in the future within a system that does that and you don't speak out you are responsible you are complicit.
11:28 pm
matthew salvini is one of italy's strongest political forces its rise as been propelled by a weakening economy. italians are scared about their future. but has of reviving old hatreds from the country's fascist past also played a role. i'm still looking for details of my family's fascist history but i wonder what appeal could this repressive ideology really have for italians today. it's possible that i might uncover some of the answer is buried here at mussolini's

11:36 pm
italians are still drawn to mussolini and fascism. but there is a narrative closer to the truth than the one preferred by devoting. a bestselling 800 page historical novel about mussolini intitled details the brutal reality of life under fascism it's the work of on. too many people even you know you still believe that fashion was evil idea and with the racial and with the relationship with denies it with the alliance but in the beginning most salumi was. done a lot of good things and it was a good statement. well it's not true it's not true so what do you think is the essence of fascism violence was the essence of fashion
