EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative print captures the essence of Italian Fascism in the 20th century. Against a striking red background, we see a full-length illustration of the Fasces, an emblem that holds great historical significance. The Fasces consists of an axe tied to a bundle of sticks, symbolizing strength through unity. Originally adopted as the symbol of Ancient Roman magistrates, it was later embraced by Benito Mussolini and his followers during their rise to power. Mussolini, known as Il Duce (The Leader), is celebrated in this artwork from "Mussolini e il Facismo" published in Rome in 1929. The image showcases the authority and leadership associated with Mussolini's regime. A wreath adorns the top of the Fasces, representing victory and honor. The circle surrounding this emblem signifies continuity and eternity while emphasizing its central importance. This studio shot highlights every detail meticulously crafted within this square image: from the intricately tied bundle to the sharpness of the axe blade. It serves as a reminder not only of Italy's ancient history but also its political landscape during that era. As we reflect on this piece, we are reminded how symbols can hold immense power over societies throughout history – both for good or ill.
