Fashioning Italian youth examines popular media representations of Italian young people's style trends and bodily practices from 1958-75. By looking at visual and written representations of transnational youth trends - like
urlatori, amici, beats and
hippies - in Italian teen magazines,
Musicarelli films and youth-oriented television programmes, it investigates changes in the social construction of Italian young people's political, generational, national, ethnic and gender identities. The monograph connects the emergence of youth-oriented transnational trends to the national and global history of young people, and explores the dynamics that contributed to the construction of a specifically Italian youth culture in this period.
