Exhibition of the Fascist Revolution
Poster promoting the Mostra della Rivoluzione Fascista (Exhibition of the Fascist Revolution), an art exhibition held in to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the March on Rome. Held for exactly two years at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome from the 28th of October 1932 to 1934, the exhibition registered almost four million visitors and brought in a net profit for the regime of around 15.5 million lire.
Unlike Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, who openly attacked modern architecture and art on both stylistic and racial grounds, Italian Fascism had been closely linked since its early inception to avant-garde artistic movements such as Futurism. Many of Italy’s most renowned artists and architects were ardent fascists who sought for their work to embody fascist values. Italian Fascism, as reflected in its ideological doctrine, was more open towards new ideas and lacked the artistically counterproductive fixation on stylistic purity and traditionalist realism that defined the Nazi aesthetic, and which often resulted in their works wanting in creative vitality.
