The Abruzzo Trilogy: Fontamara, Bread and Wine, The Seed Beneath the SnowThe Abrruzo Trilogy - Fontmara, Bread and Wine and The Seed Beneath The Snow by Ignazio Silone
These three stories look at life in central western Italy during the rule of fascism.  Silone was viewed as the writer of the people in their fight against fascism.  And interestingly, Silone was identified in the mid 60's as a double agent who worked for both the resistance and Mussolini government.

These are wonderful stories of life in rural Italy.
