| This course will examine the fascist regime established by Benito Mussolini in Italy in the 1920s, which would prove a key inspiration for other movements, most notoriously that of Adolf Hitler in Germany. The rise of Italian fascism will be explored in both the national and international contexts of the early twentieth century. Particular attention will be paid to Mussolini’s extensive use of the legacy of Ancient Rome in Fascist propaganda and visual imagery. Through a program of archaeological excavations and exhibitions, through architecture and cinema, he cast the ancient Romans not merely as the ancestors of the Italians, but also as models of imperialist ambition and political organization. Indeed, the very word ‘fascism’ derives from Latin fasces, the symbol of the power of magistrates in the Ancient Roman Republic, and points to the Classical inspiration underwriting Mussolini’s movement. This course will be conducted in English. No knowledge of Italian or Latin is required. |
