-Giorgio Grillo, The Italian Photographic Book 1931-1941. Ravenna, Danilo Montanari Editore, 2020. Pages 143-146: "One of the two most notoriously exuberant monster books of the Ventennio. At the height of its internal expansion and beyond our borders, the regime made magniloquence one of the pillars on which the advertising image of an self-sufficient and increasingly vital Italy is based."
Martin Parr and Gerry Badger, The photobook: A history. Volume I. Page 175: "The best Italian propaganda photobook from the fascist era."
