In order to
study, teach and write the history of the XX Century the use of audiovisual
sources is critically important. Documentaries and fictions are essential in
the reconstruction of the economical, social, political and cultural dynamics
of the XX Century. Indeed, cinema has been defined as the “eye” of the 1900s.
Films have a great power of information and suggestion and they are also a
strong teaching tool. In the present
essay the theoretical aspects of the relationship between history and cinema
are reconstructed and interesting exemplifications of cinema and history paths
are given.
