"If Only I Were That Warrior" - Film and Discussion
Valerio Ciriaci's film explores the contested legacy of Rodolfo Graziani, an important figure in Italy's colonial wars in Africa. Lauded as a hero in his lifetime, and celebrated by contemporary neo-fascists, Graziani was responsible for some of the worst atrocities committed by Italy during its colonization of Libya and Ethiopia. More broadly, the film deals with how the colonial experience is remembered in Italy and Africa.
This screening is the first event in a series, co-sponsored by the History Department, the Art History Department, and the Office of the Provost.
