Balilla children on their way to the tree planting campaign

Mussolini gave the order to reforest the deserted Monte Mario in Rome in 1934. In the picture, boys of the fascist youth organization Opera Nazionale Balilla march along a dirt road to Monte Mario. Armed with shovels, they were to symbolically plant the first trees for the large reforestation project on the mountain
