Fascists destroyed and built a lot ...

The past that will not go away

This is one reason (but not the only one) that it is so difficult to escape from the Fascist legacy in Italian cities - but also why it is both prominent and hidden away, obvious and subtle.

Fascism and/as revolution

'A revolution that does not produce a new space has not realized its full potential; indeed it has failed in that it has not changed life itself, but has merely changed ideological superstructures, institutions or political apparatuses. A social transformation, to be truly revolutionary in character, must manifest a creative capacity in its effects on daily life, on language and on space.

- Lefebvre, Henri. The Production of Space. Oxford: Blackwell, 1991, 54

Two key questions

- What does 'making space' mean?

- How do they make space?

The totality of the Fascist urban vision

Excess of destruction and production at an accelerated pace

The urban space as the central stage of the Fascist revolution

A perfect case of Fascist totalitarianism of vision and action
