520 2  "In contrast to its brutal seizure of the Balkans, the 
       Italian Army's 1940-1943 relatively mild occupation of the
       French Riviera and nearby alpine regions bred the myth of 
       the Italian brava gente, or good fellow, an agreeable 
       occupier who abstained from the savage wartime behaviors 
       so common across Europe. Employing a multi-tiered approach,
       Emanuele Sica examines the simultaneously conflicting and 
       symbiotic relationship between the French population and 
       Italian soldiers. At the grassroots level, Sica asserts 
       that the cultural proximity between the soldiers and the 
       local population, one-quarter of which was Italian, 
       smoothed the sharp angles of miscommunication and cultural
       faux-pas at a time of great uncertainty. At the same time,
       it encouraged a laxness in discipline that manifested as 
       fraternization and black marketeering. Sica's examination 
       of political tensions highlights how French prefects and 
       mayors fought to keep the tatters of sovereignty in the 
       face of military occupation. In addition, he reveals the 
       tense relationship between Fascist civilian authorities 
       eager to fulfil imperial dreams of annexation and army 
       leaders desperate to prevent any action that might provoke
       French insurrection. Finally, he completes the tableau 
       with detailed accounts of how food shortages and French 
       Resistance attacks brought sterner Italian methods, why 
       the Fascists' attempted 'Italianization' of the French 
       border city of Menton failed, and the ways the occupation 
       zone became an unlikely haven for Jews"--|cProvided by

520 2  "Following the conquest of Europe during the WWII, the 
       Axis powers implemented occupation policies, often savage 
       and brutal, to consolidate their European empire. After 
       the war, a myth of Italiani Brava Gente (Italians, good 
       fellows) perpetuated the belief that Italian soldiers were
       essentially good-natured and, unlike the German forces, 
       incapable of perpetrating massacres against local 
       civilians. In this study, Emanuele Sica examines the 
       Italian military occupation of the French Riviera and 
       Alpine region from June 1940 to September 1943, with 
       particular attention to the relationship between Italian 
       soldiers and the local population. The Italian occupation 
       policy in France, unlike the one in the Balkans, was 
       moderate and low in casualties. This mild approach to 
       occupation of foreign soil was due in part to pragmatic 
       reasons. Italian local commanders understood that 
       softening their occupation policy was the best means of 
       preventing the formation of partisan groups in the area. 
       In fact, the Italians' strategic nightmare would have been
       an Allied seaborne invasion from the Mediterranean while 
       concurrently fighting a Resistance uprising in France. 
       Confronted with overstretched lines, pervasively poor 
       morale within the ranks of the Italian occupation army in 
       France and outdated materiel, the local command avoided 
       harsh measures that could drive the French population 
       towards resistance. However, Sica also asserts that the 
       cultural proximity between the soldiers and the local 
       population, 1/4 of which was Italian, played an important 
       role in positively shaping the relationships between 
       occupiers and occupied, smoothing the sharp angles of 
       miscommunication and minimizing inevitable cultural faux-
       pas at a time of great uncertainty and tension"--
