During the late 20’s he demonstrated some enthusiasm for the party which seemed to be progressive and promoting positive change. He exhibited during the 30’s with a group called Strapaese. The fascist party promoted this movement as it celebrated the landscape as well as artists of the past. However during 1943 Morandi was held in jail for a week for demonstrating sympathy for anti-fascists. It is difficult to imagine the artist of Via Fondazza wearing a black shirt and giving the Roman salute.

I was lucky enough to go to London to see the Morandi exhibition there this past April, I saw the DVD there and ordered it, I live in region 2 so I do not know about the USA which is region 1.
Also till September 2013 there is a fantastic exhibition in Brussels of Morandi, a retrospective at BOZART. I saw it last month and will go see it again. It is well worth the trip, but If you can not get to see it the catalog is excellent.
This exhibition features his landscapes as well as still lifes.

good question, I will try to find out. I only watched a special online version but I assume when they reissue the DVD and have it available for sale it should give this information.
