Paola Bonifazio sa zameriava na štúdium povojnovej Talianskej republiky prostredníctvom filmových dokumentov. Jej práca skúma, ako boli tieto filmy využívané na formovanie spoločnosti a ideológií v období po druhej svetovej vojne. Skúma najmä politické a sociálne aspekty filmovej produkcie a jej vplyv na modernizáciu krajiny. Jej prístup kombinuje filmovú vedu s historickou analýzou.
Exploring the intersection of cinema and governance, the book delves into how films funded by Italian and American government agencies shaped perceptions of modernization and industry in Italy. It highlights the role of these films as instruments of influence, reflecting broader socio-political agendas while aiming to guide the Italian populace towards a specific vision of progress.
