The discovery of the folder containing the original illustrations by Mario Sironi for the newspaper Il Popolo d’Italia from 1921 to 1940, is the starting point to describe the crucial role played by the artist in the construction of the imaginary of the ideology of fascism. The documentary was made for the exhibition hosted by the Museum of Villa Torlonia in Rome.
