D ario G aggio . The Shaping of Tuscany
It is one of the most iconic roads in Italy—a cypress-lined zigzag that runs up a Tuscan hill to a rustic farmhouse. The site is La Foce, a luxury agriturismo resort nestled in Tuscany’s Val d’Orcia. According to Dario Gaggio in The Shaping of Tuscany, it has come to represent an “authentic” Tuscan rural scene prized by tourists and preservationists. The scene has become so generic that variations of it can be found everywhere, from the walls of …

Everyday Life in Fascist Venice, 1929–1940
Venice is a unique city – perhaps too unique to serve as a case study of the Fascist regime's attempt at creating a totalitarian culture. This is, however, what Kate Ferris attempts to do in her st
‘Il nostro Duce’
On September 18, 1938, Benito Mussolini disembarked in the port city of Trieste to begin a seven-day visit of the Tre Venezie . The tour was in keeping with Mussolini's policy of andare verso il popolo which involved periodic visits to Italy's regions. It was also an opportunity to impose the cult of the Duce on a frontier region which had, since the 1920s, been the site of harsh anti-Slav policies designed to Italianize the Venezia-Giulia region…

Joshua Arthurs. Excavating Modernity
The title of this excellent book challenges the reader to accept fascist-era archaeology in Rome as an exercise in modernity. Joshua Arthurs's examination of Romanità, the fascist regime's attempt to declare itself a reincarnation of the Roman Empire, suggests that the dictatorship used the Roman past not merely as propaganda to prop up a “sawdust Caesar” but as a means of effecting its so-called anthropological revolution. In unpacking the multi…
Nature and History in Modern Italy
Roads and Ruins
In the 1930s, the Italian Fascist regime profoundly changed the landscape of Rome's historic centre, demolishing buildings and displacing thousands of Romans in order to display the ruins of the pre-Christian Roman Empire. This transformation is commonly interpreted as a failed attempt to harmonize urban planning with Fascism's ideological exaltation of the Roman Empire.Roads and Ruins argues that the chaotic Fascist cityscape, filled with traffi…

Capturing the Fascist Moment
In May 1938, Italians and the world were treated to the spectacle of Adolf Hitler's visit to Italy. The visit was a prime example of overheated Fascist propaganda. For seven days, Hitler was feted in a manner that was far removed from a normal state visit. Yet, for all the pomp and ceremony, nothing was accomplished to further the Axis alliance, even though the Germans came prepared to sign a full military alliance. For this reason, the Hitler vi…
Piacentini's Window
When urban planners Marcello Piacentini and Antonio Muñoz looked at the Rome they helped create through their participation in the Master Plan of 1931, they saw a metaphor for Fascism's transformation of Rome, a metaphor that captured the ‘effect’ of the Master Plan but not its ‘intention’. The Fascist regime aimed to build a modern capital on the nineteenth-century models of Paris and Vienna, but created instead a modernist city which challenged…
