Garone, C.

...Augusto Genina, who attracted attention as a director of unusual "women's films" while following in the footsteps of "diva films" with his films "Woman" (1917) and "Goodbye Youth" (1918), then traveled around Italy, Germany, and France from 1927 to 1939, making films such as "The Libyan White Cavalry" (1936) and "The Siege of Alcazar" (1940), which were described in Italy as fascist propaganda films. Carmine Garrone, who collaborated with Amleto Palermi on the fourth film adaptation (1926) of The Last Days of Pompeii, the last historical epic that came to be described as "the last day of Italian cinema," also traveled around France, England, Germany, and Hungary between 1926 and 1936, and in his native Italy under the Mussolini regime he made government-sponsored films such as the musical film A Memory (1935) and the spectacular historical drama Scipione (1937).

"Scipione," which celebrates the victory of the Roman Empire's invasion of North Africa thanks to the decisions of the wise and brave general Scipione and the patriotism of the people, was Mussolini's favorite film (it was awarded the Mussolini Cup, later equivalent to the Grand Prix, at the 1937 Venice Film Festival), as a work that justified Mussolini's war of aggression against Ethiopia (Mussolini himself is said to have written the screenplay), and as the first blockbuster film actually shot on location in Africa and made at the recently built Cinecittà film city.

 知謀の勇将シピオネの決断と国民の愛国心によるローマ帝国の北アフリカ侵略の勝利を謳歌した《シピオネ》は,ムッソリーニのエチオピア侵略戦争を正当化した作品として(ムッソリーニ自身がこの映画の脚本を書いたともいわれる),また実際にアフリカでロケされ,そして建設されたばかりの映画都市チネチッタで作られた最初の超大作として,ムッソリーニのもっとも気に入った映画であった(1937年のベネチア映画祭で,のちのグラン・プリに相当する〈ムッソリーニ杯〉を授与された)。…
