Author reconstructs for the first time the course of the two periodicals for children and young people – «Aquilotti d’Italia» (1928-1930) and «Il Tamburino della gioventù italiana all’estero» (1931-1943) –, published by the Segreteria Generale dei Fasci Italiani all’Estero and mainly aimed at children and young people coming from the Italian communities living outside the national borders. After having analyzed the approach and the different characteristics of the two periodicals, A. examines with a wealth of details their role carried out firstly on the national and patriotic education and secondly with regard to the Fascistization of Italian young people abroad, especially since the mid-thirties.
