Sulla base di un corpus di 132 documentari trasmessi dal 1971 al 2013, reperiti nelle Teche RAI, l’articolo descrive i cambiamenti nel tempo del racconto televisivo degli “Anni di piombo”. Tra gli aspetti teorici che orientano questa analisi longitudinale e? centrale l’ipotesi che i gatekeepers dell’informazione possano auto-censurarsi di fronte a contenuti controversi (Bar-Tal 2017).

This study explores the reactions of Italian university students to information about colonial crimes perpetrated by the Italian Army during the invasion of Ethiopia (1935-36), events that are still self-cen-sored in intergenerational narratives. Participants reported their emotions about the Italian colonial past and their knowledge of this historical period was examined. Then they read a parrhesic (i.e., straightfor-ward) or, alternatively, an evasive narrative of crimes committed in Ethiopia in 1935-36 and, once again, reported related emotions.
