<i>Italiani brava gente</i>

"Italians [are] decent people" is a phrase coined by historians to refer to Italian popular beliefs about the allegedly limited, if even existant participation of Fascist Italy and the Royal Italian Army in the Holocaust and war crimes committed by Axis soldiers during World War II. The phenomenon is also known as the myth of the Good Italian. A form of historical revisionism which emerged under the post-war republic, it was argued that Italian soldiers had been "good" or "decent people" who had acted with humanity and compassion in contrast to their ideologically motivated and brutal German allies. In particular, it argued that the Italians had not participated in, or even opposed, the Nazi persecution of Jews in occupied parts of Eastern Europe. By extension, the term is sometimes applied to describe popular beliefs about the Italo-Ethiopian War (1935–6) or non-Jewish responses to the Holocaust in Italy.
