La legge del 3 aprile 1926 n. 2247 istituì l’Opera nazionale balilla, l’ente fascista per l’assistenza e l’educazione fisica e morale della gioventù, che
accoglieva giovani e giovanissimi, di ambo i sessi, dai 6 ai 18 anni. Il presente articolo intende illustrare l’attività dell’ente nel territorio della provincia di Aosta per gli anni 1935, 1936, 1937 e 1944. La ricerca archivistica ha fatto emergere che i piani d’azione dell’ente erano principalmente tre: quello culturale, quello ginnico-sportivo e quello assistenziale. Quest’ultimo aspetto sarà esplorato attraverso i dati
relativi al servizio di refezione scolastica.
The Opera Nazionale Balilla, a fascist organisation for the assistance and physical and moral education of young people, was set up by Law No. 2247 of 3 April 1926. It addressed to boys and girls, between 6 and 18. This article aims to illustrate the activities of the organisation in the Aosta’s district for the years 1935, 1936, 1937 and 1944. Archival research has shown that the organisation had three main areas of activity: cultural, gymnastic-sports and welfare. The welfare aspect of the Opera will be explored through the data concerning the school meals service.
