Unlike in other countries in Western Europe, Italy’s colonial past is still rarely debated. It’s difficult to find stories about that time in movies, books and television shows, it’s never a topic in history classes in schools, although it had marked the story of the country for decades.
With the Italo-Somali writer Antar Marincola, @vdnews_ita try to debunk the myth of «Italians, the good people» concerning colonialism through the story of his family and his uncle, Giorgio Marincola, an Italo-Somali partisan who died while fighting Nazi-Fascism.
