On March 26th, 1923, in a formal ceremony, construction of the
Milan–Alpine Lakes autostrada officially began, the preliminary
step toward what would become the first European motorway. That
Benito Mussolini himself participated in the festivities indicates
just how important the project was to Italian Fascism. Driving
Modernity recounts the twisting fortunes of the autostrada,
which—alongside railways, aviation, and other forms of
mobility—Italian authorities hoped would spread an ideology of
technological nationalism. It explains how Italy ultimately failed
to realize its mammoth infrastructural vision, addressing the
political and social conditions that made a coherent plan of
development impossible.
