Summary
Fascist Venice, 1929–40, reveals how the regime attempted to reshape daily life in Venice through systemic infiltration. The study highlights resistance and adaptation among Venetians, demonstrating that while fascism sought to impose uniformity, local traditions and social dynamics persisted. Ferris' approach combines archival research with oral histories, providing a nuanced view of lived experience under authoritarian rule. This work contributes to understanding the complexities of fascist governance in World Heritage Sites, offering insights into cultural resilience during periods of political upheaval.
