The year 1932, the tenth anniversary of Mussolini's March on Rome,
was fascism's Decennale. Commemorating Italian fascism's seizure of
power, the Decennale was celebrated by the regime in a deliberate
attempt to radicalize the original movement and develop it into an
imperial and racist regime. In Mussolini's Decennale, Antonio
Morena explores a cross-section of Italian culture during the
Decennale. Studying literature, speeches, documentaries, films,
textbooks, and the 1932 Exhibition, he discusses how the regime,
its patrons, and even its critics all appropriated the historical
events of 1922 for their political advantage. Positioning the 1932
anniversary celebrations as the crux of the fascist transition from
conservatism to totalitarianism, Mussolini's Decennale broadens our
understanding of fascist ideology, cultural politics, and
Realpolitik.
