This study analyzes Italian textbooks produced for Italian schools abroad,
focusing on those circulated in Brazil during fascism. It explores their covers, symbols,
colors, and visual narratives as transnational propaganda tools to promote Italian culture.
The research highlights textbooks’ role in shaping school material culture, linking
pedagogy, cultural policies, and fascist ideology. By examining these materials in a
transnational context, the article contributes to understanding the relationship between
materiality, ideology, and education.
