EDITORS COMMENTS
The Duce, Benito Mussolini, leads the way as he strikes the first blow of a pickaxe to clear the area for the grand Mole Littoria. This vibrant color lithograph captures a pivotal moment in history, symbolizing the power and ambition of fascist Italy. In this illustration by Achille Beltrame, we see Mussolini surrounded by a group of dedicated workers and builders. With his strong presence and determination, he embodies the spirit of Italian nationalism and fascism. The image showcases not only physical labor but also political propaganda, highlighting how Mussolini's leadership helped shape Italy into a formidable force. The Mole Littoria itself will stand as an architectural marvel in Rome, representing the monumental glories of the city. It will serve as a powerful symbol of fascist ideology and patriotism for years to come. This artwork beautifully depicts Mussolini's role as both prime minister and dictator. His actions resonate with pride and dedication towards building a stronger nation. The rooftops of Rome provide an atmospheric backdrop to this scene, emphasizing that this transformation is taking place at the heart of Italy. Beltrame's skillful illustrations capture every detail - from tools being used by workers to Mussolini's iconic gesture known as "the fascist salute". This print serves as a historical testament to one man's vision for his country and its people.
