Italian term

Opera Nacionale Dopolaboro

Italian to English Other History
This comes from a text about vertical trade unions during Franco's dictatorship in Spain. Could anyone tell me what this organisation would be called in English?
Many thanks,
Paul

Paul Edgar (asker) Nov 18, 2006:
Italian organisation Although the text I'm translating is from Spanish to English, this term does in fact refer to an Italian organisation.
P.L.F. Persio Nov 18, 2006:
Wrong pair, this should be ES>EN.

Opera Nazionale Dopolavoro

if you google the above in English language sites you'll find many hits - a rather authoritative one might be

- and you can easily borrow their description (leisure organization for workers) if you think an explanation in brackets is needed

You'll also find a few hits for "National Leisure Hours Institution" - for me, the most trustworthy one seems to be this one:

and even a "National. Organization ‘After Work’"...

Opera Nazionale Dopolavoro (travelling theatre group)

In italian this is Opera Nazionale Dopolavoro
... the travelling theatre group of the Opera Nazionale Dopolavoro. Dopolavoro was the leisure and culture association created during the Fascist period in Italy.

There is no English equivalent and therefore no exact translation.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Alfredo Tutino : I agree on the use of the Italian term, but this theatre group was just a minimal part of the activities of the "Dopolavoro". You may wish to check: it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_Nazionale_Dopolavoro
