Abstract
The legal apparatus of the fascist Regime, operating to ensure the linguistic and cultural autarchy of the nation, affected in complex and resilient ways the format of not only foreign but also domestic films. The modes of production and reproduction of the soundtrack, through the imposition and normalization of the technique of post-synchronization, characterize Italian cinema as distinct both during the fascist period and also after its demise.
