This ambitious collection treating the Italian Fascistsâ appropriation of the past for political purposes focuses on the role of the visual in the aim of fusing the past and the modern world in Mussoliniâs Italy. With contributions by art historians and classicists, literary and intellectual historians, Donatello among the Blackshirts demonstrates that the Fascist regime appropriated not only Italyâs ancient Roman past but also the medieval, Renaissance, and even baroque eras, as well as its own recent history, in constructing a new myth of the nation. Every aspect of visual cultureâfrom monumental architecture, sculpture, painting, and gardens to exhibitions, spectacles, films, medals, household items, and stampsâhelped to link the past with modernity. As a result, Italyâs artistic traditions became familiar to all social classes throughout the peninsula. While this richly illustrated book concerns Fascist Italy, at the same time it also shows how Italyâs premodern artistic traditions have been passed down to the present through the filter of the Fascist era.
