What is it about?
The history of the Friuli Mosaic School (FMS) opens up a rare window into an often-overlooked field in the history of education: arts and crafts schools in Fascist Italy (1922–1943). How did such schools relate with the regime? This paper contends that the relationship of the FMS with Italian Fascism was primarily functional rather than political.
