ABSTRACT The 1934 World Cup helped project the global image of fascist Italy. After the victory of the Azzurri, many protagonists of this event entered the mass-media imagery as icons of the Mussolini regime and as prototypes of the fascist ‘New Man’. Paradoxically, their status as national heroes came out unscathed from the fascist period, and many of the players continued to be viewed as paradigms of virtue even after the Second World War. Likewise, symbols of the 1934 World Cup survived the end of the fascist regime. The aim of this article is to analyse how the memory of the first Italian World Cup evolved after the fall of the fascist regime. Specifically, we will first focus on memory of the 1934 World Cup in the years immediately after the end of the War. We will then look at the years around Italy 1990 and finally bring out some revelations identified in the national football museum in Florence.

足球是法西斯主义者吗？战后记忆中的1934年世界杯

摘要1934年世界杯足球赛帮助塑造了法西斯意大利的全球形象。阿祖里（Azzurri）胜利后，这一事件的许多主角进入了大众媒体形象，成为墨索里尼政权的标志和法西斯“新人”的原型。自相矛盾的是，他们作为民族英雄的地位在法西斯时代一发不可收拾，即使在第二次世界大战之后，许多球员仍然被视为美德的典范。同样，1934年世界杯的象征在法西斯政权结束后幸存下来。本文旨在分析法西斯政权倒台后第一届意大利世界杯的记忆如何演变。具体来说，我们将首先关注战争结束后的几年中对1934年世界杯的记忆。
