Class Register. First Book 1900-1960 2015

Directed by Cecilia Pagliarani

School registers are made to record the students' absences and grades. But not all students are equal, not all of them are given the same opportunities. In this journey lasting over a century, teachers, children, parents from every part of Italy reconstruct the history of compulsory schooling, and their personal experiences, great expectations and deeply-felt disappointments.
