Simultaneous Sports and Other Physico-Follies in Futurist Life and Art
The article offers an overview of Futurism, the revolutionary aesthetic movement that began in 1909 and brought a new vitality to the Italian art scene. One of the least familiar aspects of the movement was the focus that its founder Filippo Tommaso Marinetti and his followers espoused for promoting sport and physical education – both in schools and in workers’ free time. The artistic efforts of the Futurists were quite innovative as they invente…
The Case of Urbino
The University of Urbino is composed of 10 different faculties, the youngest of which is the Faculty of Sport Sciences. Local interest in sport games and athleticism dates from early Renaissance, and Urbino's citizens still continue to cultivate the passion for such activities. For many centuries participation in physical exercise had been largely neglected on the national level, but after the Italian unification of 1861 interest in gymnastics ex…
Sporting Events Organized in Venice
In Venice between the middle ages and the modern era, a number of cultural entertainments as well as sporting contests and popular games were performed to celebrate the carnival and other important religious and civil events; these might include state visits of important people from abroad. Under control of the government, the organizers and participants of these events were of both noble and modest origins. Among them were the rival Castellani a…
Sport and the Shaping of Italian-American Identity
Italian Fascism and the Female Body
This is the first text to examine women and sport in Italy during the period 1861-1945. To qualify and quantify the impact of fascism on Italian Women's sport, the author first of all examines the pre-fascist period in terms of female physical culture. The text then describes how during the fascist era, women moved strictly within a framework designed by medicine and eugenics, religious and traditional education. The country aspired to emancipati…
Prologue
Strong, Athletic and Beautiful
Edmondo De Amicis (1843-1908) was one of Italy's most popular writers, and perhaps more than any other figure in post-Risorgimento Italy, he reflected the common hopes, dreams and prejudices of his countrymen. De Amicis was particularly interested in gymnastics and physical education, and he wrote about them frequently. His most famous work on these subjects is his novella Amore e ginnastica [Love and Gymnastics] (1892) which explores female fitn…
Care, Cure and Training of the Body According to Italian Medicine of the Nineteenth Century
Sometime in the latter half of the nineteenth century, the idea that progress in science and technology would lead to solutions for, or at least control over, human ills had reached Italy as a result of positivism. The Parliament of the new Kingdom of Italy, formed in 1861, worked, among other things, towards increasing the processes of modernisation and industrialisation that were already ongoing in northern and central Italy. This was done to c…
Féminité et esthétique sportive dans l'Italie fasciste
En Italie, bien que le secteur masculin se soit continuellement développé (en atteignant son point d'orgue avec le fascisme), l'éducation physique féminine a rencontré des difficultés à être mise en œuvre dans un pays profondément pénétré de traditionalisme, de religiosité et de misogynie. Jusqu'à l'évènement de la révolution fasciste, a plupart des Italiens croyaient à l'infériorité physique et mentale des femmes et les pionnières du sport fémin…

A Glittering Icon of Fascist Femininity
This essay focuses on the second decade of the Italian Fascist regime through its emblematic symbol, Trebisonda 'Ondina' Valla. Valla gained first place in the 80 metre hurdles at the Berlin Olympics of 1936, and became the first world-class female athlete in Italian history, in spite of the generally backward condition of Italian women. In those years, a paternalistic and conservative society deeply discriminated against female participation in …
