9:06 am
illegal. but i have a little probably. the behavior . i have a hook but not everyone adores matteo salvini the far right leader dominating italian politics some believe his actions and slogans are revenues sent 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.
9:07 am
like the country of my birth i too have fascism in my past. on the italian island of sardinia my grandfather was a senior figure in the fascist party this was his home. and my grandfather was actually a pilot in world war one was quite dashing. i don't really know much about my grandfather b. is he died when i was just
9:08 am
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 with the little. 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 6 out of borneo sort of up there but you can imagine how the boneyard 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. my grandfather
9:09 am
if you tally 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 which enough. time and morning 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 survey near where generations of my family lived . but across the country and beyond. fascism seems to be stirring one small. i want to understand why you'd 1st took root in
9:10 am
italy a sentry ago. john lucas crow who is a historian at the university of calgary inserted in that 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 of 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 of one of. the jonica bunch appalled at the event without their fart an animal. it's about. in a fit with our. systematic
9:11 am
evidence to degrading a possible. ideas into the concert you know started to study done to look for she's also sure that we took the city to check not fit with the new trend and that the identity in question what i meant and i thought i meant the income enough to. manifest she's. in a persona of courses but did i send somebody who don't recall an individual support for that trick on me. in fact not on the next big thing but what happened to me but i shall die but fodder for the stuff that i should. be the from the telling history the cowboy yeah and that's what i came out of a persona non of in say one eye for the 10 on the fish.
9:12 am
miscellanies vision of modernity all tommy 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 normal way the city in the center of 1938. there's a witness to this event from more than 80 years ago the writer paolo found there was here in this crowd he was 9 years old. maybe maybe put up with the song. you know me quite a long article them they took the wind. chill live but he meant by it all and they're going to be all. over she startled out of the dollar. falls down boy and do. it in.
9:13 am
your own backyard. but i want to bet that i've got a lot of thought it. would be tough to travel. to work on a $5.00. call shame on the love i would not feel on the $15.00 plus 10 all united in time job ok you know what i tell you got a boner going to be open enough that i thought on fossil media global terror inside a nap i might need someone to play with all the new thought ok if you fall say go 3000 and she goes a bit of a tame bull. this new town was founded on coal it's very name derived from kind of born in the italian word for coal. so of course the mine was the center of life here.
9:14 am
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 science and it really in caps relates that fascist ideal that you are called in 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 miners that a raised sign in the fire.
9:15 am
the archives in calgary offer some valuable clues about why my grandfather was picked to be poor this that 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 the tallinn 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
9:16 am
1038 to 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 and race there they phrase there and here is the census because a census was held across italy and here in sweden as well of the 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 of any together and and then to see no edict comes that effectively that all these people have to be relieved of their jobs by grandfather must have known commendatory sega here supposed have i also wonder what he had.
9:17 am
would have thought knowing that then his great grandchild might have fallen foul of the racial groups. 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 feagles his father was a miner here during the time that my grandfather was mayor but he was an anti fascist. i'm not certain how welcoming francesco will be. singled out across the less if not sooner and in. this it doesn't seem because of
9:18 am
the confront persona devil saw identical. doing up at the thought i meant the diversity of and missing that it happens and that it is simplicity thought up as in that on your part that are needed to what cause us would rather laugh at doc you know your present not be so bad that this one only nearby there are known nobody. but if they got out of maine. or steal i. love all the army air as to what i meant they gave me i would oppose that zone of so a lot of activists lowly that would tie the 2 but it's only the last sunday. any you know tony siciliano. to be sure to cause i don't know they need get on the roof and all but it's the city i need to be on the side of the anybody that evidence of that sort of behavior and shit on will see what i meant the apex on again was that the man that the. even among the department if you put it from the room that you priyanka use to swat is so much.
9:19 am
to put it in order to do the big problem they do close it out in a can i don't know so i checked out that one for she's made out that he just opened it it's also time to point to go to the monument to get a boner among wanted to be given a speech at the permit zone but in the city child can refute the model carbone yeah but he did it and demanded it still want to. live in a. commune of otoh cleveland but c'mon don't disagree meant nothing nothing to do but more to do a lot. of the work down here was the injuries 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
9:20 am
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 1000 age 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 of fear a lot and how his lover has been punished for being gay in fascist italy.
9:21 am
so to speak. so receive. much of a wreck of the faculty. of. hard labor in california will also be the fate of mastery on these character. but then with a. 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 adoring fascists. the uneasy alliance between
9:22 am
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 inquiry of a lot of. people and suddenly not a lot of. comment of uganda people to dhaka. want our presence and us for a moment. just before the little. snoopy got. the
9:23 am
. 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 but i didn't care the . other. cover. we needed. because. if i do love. you know what's out there more about any kind of one of this which is an american i'm going to show and i'm going to. find out i learned had no scope i just wanted you she did he had. some interesting questions i want to see michel look at. the.
9:24 am
more when i said latina woman to diversity but as a company was this equal but i uncovered. a full time and almost civil. post op was important about. a law or law a fanatical contract that can mentor the company said no problem with the cause of . there are tangible signs not only in documents and photographs of my grandfather's role in car boni 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.
9:25 am
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 a letter with a swastika and heil hitler in the signature among old family photos.
9:26 am
the buildings are directed by the fascists here and 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 none. what i learned about my grandfather is that he believed in the fascist ideals yes building a new italy but doing so by suppressing personal freedoms and using violence
9:27 am
against anyone who didn't fit in with those ideals he knew about this since in gay people being sent to us 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. the arab.
9:28 am
league. matthew salvini is one of italy's strongest political forces its rise has 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 too.

but the reason 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 used to 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 there 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 since the beginning the formula. ok of mostly any was

9:53 am
is i'm sad with senator c. gray i'm haunted by a terrible thought that my grandfather may have had something to do with her father's fate and that of thousands of others. i've been listed the help of rebecca now in hiring germany to translate the nazi letter sent to my grandfather and to discover why it was written. that if they're having them again. really a couple years. old however they. recognize. the thank you letter from his hosts strikes a friendly tone obviously wanting to build on the link between the nazis and the
9:54 am
car bonior. finding out my grandfather actually traveled to germany in 1938 as part of a trade delegation is upsetting. ok so. it was about coal it was about the germans being interested in carbone ya as a source of coal so trade obviously it's. had some massive relief because it could have been. so much worse but still. it makes me sick this letter from the moment i found it has just always just made me sick and i think the way i feel goes to the heart of the relationship that many perhaps most the talents tend to have with their
9:55 am
