EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a powerful symbol of Ancient Roman magistrates - the Fasces. The image captures an axe tied to a bundle of sticks, representing the authority and strength held by these ancient officials. This emblem, which dates back centuries, was later adopted as the iconic symbol of the Fascists in the 20th century. Taken from "Mussolini e il Facismo" in Rome, 1929, this photograph commemorates the rise of Benito Mussolini, the Italian Fascist dictator. It serves as a visual testament to his leadership and influence during that era. The studio shot is meticulously composed with no people present, allowing us to focus solely on this significant historical artifact. The square format emphasizes its importance while Western script provides additional context for viewers. As we delve into history through this image, it offers valuable information about both ancient Roman culture and Mussolini's regime. It serves as a reminder of Italy's rich heritage and how it intertwined with political ideologies throughout time. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) does not mention commercial use but rather aims to educate and inform viewers about an important chapter in world history.
