Crossing their gazes on historiographical interests, the use of image, creation and dissemination through theatre and cinema, Strippoli and d’Amico de Carvalho talk about the relationship between archival sources, literature, and mise en scène, for addressing the history of the largest Italian extra-par-liamentary left-wing group of the seventies, Lotta Continua, and its connection to the April Revolution and the “Sixty-ei-ght”. The text introduces the film and offers an interpretation about the relationship between the history of the revolution, the memory of the protagonists and the visuality of the past.82240466porUses of the pastCinemaLotta ContinuaMemoryCarnation RevolutionRua do Prior, 41journal article10.48487/pdh.2022.n14.28222Lotta Continua, the Carnation Revolution and the uses of the past in documentary cinemahttps://praticasdahistoria.pt/article/view/28222
