La valorizzazione del dialetto e della cultura regionale, inclusa la tradizione alimentare, nell'educazione dei bambini negli anni Venti

摘要

This present essay aims at discussing the role played by?Giovanni Gentile's reform, which was based on the education program developed by Giuseppe Lombardo Radice?that assigned a prominent space to dialects and regional culture. As a case study we will analyse the school textbook Il Friuli (1924) written by Lea D'Orlandi, which was written for Friulian pupils to spur an appreciation of their regional culture - food tradition included - as a vehicle for promoting national education.
