In 1922 the Fascist 'March on Rome' brought Benito Mussolini to
power. He promised Italians that his fascist revolution would unite
them as never before and make Italy a strong and respected nation
internationally. In the next two decades, Mussolini set about
rebuilding the city of Rome as the site and symbol of the new
fascist Italy. Through an ambitious program of demolition and
construction he sought to make Rome a modern capital of a nation
and an empire worthy of Rome's imperial past. Building the new Rome
put people to work, 'liberated' ancient monuments, cleared slums,
produced new "cities" for education, sports, and cinema, produced
wide new streets, and provided the regime with a setting to
showcase fascism's dynamism, power, and greatness. Mussolini's Rome
thus embodied the movement, the man and the myth that made up
fascist Italy.
