Marmittone is an Italian comic strip series created by Bruno Angoletta.
Background
The name Marmittone ("rookie") is derived from "marmitta", the huge pot in which military rations are cooked.[1] The main character is a simple-minded soldier with goodwill, who, for his gaffes and bad luck, ends up going to prison at the end of each of his adventures.[1] The comic strip was published by Il Corriere dei Piccoli from 1928 to 1940, a few weeks before the outbreak of World War II.[1]
Marmittone is considered a parody of fascist values of militarism and virility[2] and was referred to as "the most consistent and unyieldingly rude antagonist of the soldierly stereotypes of any dictatorship".[3]
