Women of the fascist Opera Nazionale Dopolavoro

Young women belonging to the fascist Opera nazionale del dopolavoro (OND) practice the drill in the marble stadium on the Foro Mussolini (today Foro Italico) in Rome. An instructor observes the correct execution of the exercise (back left, half hidden). Mussolini had introduced the passo romano that year, a parade step very similar to that used by the German Wehrmacht. The OND was the Italian Fascists recreational and leisure organization and the mass Fascist organization with the largest membership. The photograph was taken in 1938
