Abstract
The authors conduct an analysis of Nassirya, television miniseries that fictionalizes and commemorates a tragic event in history: the death of a contingent of Italian soldiers in the Iraq war. The memory of the fact becomes recreation and celebration of Italian identity, the Italianity, through a story of heroism of men whatever. Fiction transforms Italian soldiers into peacekeepers and opposes their sensitive humanity to the corruption and inhumanity of USAmericans, antagonists that take the place of an Iraqi enemy, impossible in a story of peace. The viewer is set to the time in which history is written. And in the construction of memory, reality and fiction overlap and change places.
