Why are foreign-language films shown in Italy dubbed into Italian, rather subtitled? This book traces the origins of audiovisual translation practices in Italy to the 1920s and 1930s, exploring the fascist government’s political interest in dubbing and its relationship to film censorship.
During the late 1920s and the 1930s, the Italian government sought various commercial and politically oriented solutions to cope with the advent of new sound technologies in cinema. The translation of foreign-language films became a recurrent topic of ongoing debates surrounding the use of the Italian language, the rebirth of the national film industry and cinemas mass popularity.

The book outlines the evolution of film censorship regulation in Italy and its interplay with film translation practices, discusses the reactions of Mussolinis administration to early Italian-language talkies produced abroad and documents the states role in initiating and encouraging Italians habit of watching dubbed films.
