I would say they weren't lacking in taste. The Palazzo is downright beautiful in its austere simplicity, I wonder if it wasn't repurposed as an office building of some sort. The Casa del Fascio looks surprisingly modern, like a 2010's condo, I wouldn't have guessed it's from 1936.
Fascism always had an inherent sense of style and beauty and was often way ahead of its time in many aspects. Its defining aesthetic and intellectual movement being futurism.
I think the problem is in having taste, but for the wrong reasons
@@lucas10armond Taste is something one has or doesn't regardless of reasons. Taste is reason in itself.
@@axelhopfinger533 Well, whem you just like grego roman statues cuz you think that they where all white in color, thats a bad reason
@@axelhopfinger533 Fascist just like something for the characteritics that justifies their superiority complex
Have you covered futurism and its influence?
Not yet
@@encreetaquarelle8096 another one like it in the UK called Blast that was used by the BUF is also interesting.
Am I the only one who thinks the Palazzo is kinda ugly? lol
I immediately recognize that building from Hudson Hawk lol. That's the Mayflower's HQ. I guess this adds a little extra layer of silly to them :)
One nice thing about the fascists is they didn't stick around for too long so they didn't leave a lot of marks. So not a lot of people to say 'they might have been bad but look at all these great things they built' like every other ancient civilization of assholes. Hitler had a lot of grandiose set design during his reign but not a lot in the way of actual brick and mortar stuff. Most of what was planned was supposed to come after their 'great victory'.
Jesus Christ, the amount of fascists in the comment section is digusting.
Seriously. They swarm around totalitarian aesthetics like flies swarm around a turd.
I actually find these buildings pretty ugly, and I think they have a lot in common with sovjet architecture in some ways
I knew it was you ..are you an architect also? Good info about this architecture I've never heard before ..
Thank you
These 1930's Italian Fascist structures look pretty much the same as post war classic "International Style" architecture.
fascist architecture is great architecture.
Nice bait, basement dweller.
@@shinjiikari5174he’s not wrong though. It looks cool
@@shinjiikari5174I'm Italian and I'll always love Fascist Architecture and its peculiarities, it's undeniably part of our artistic heritage and our culture, even in small unnoticeable towns you can find plenty of it, such as Lodi with the provincial aqueduct, the seminar, many schools and even a cinema

@@SniaViscosaToxSwagroman architecture is fascist?
Very interesting! I consider myself to be VERY studied on the subject of fascism, but I have to admit that I hadn’t considered the literal architecture of fascists in depth before
Thank you for watching
you consider yourself studied on fascism but you don't think about their art ever?
Great feature! Thank you! Subscribed.
There is nothing wrong with an architecture that wants to reflect the identity and pride of a people and the respect for their culture and ancestors
Neither is there anything wrong with a ruler to want to preserve and elevate his people, to give them purpose, pride, cohesion, trust in their fellow country men as being part of a greater whole
Every people in the world should have the right to self preservation and to have their lands to themselves, that including white europian people
Yeah
Mussolini wasn't as evil as Hitler, Stalin, Mao or Pol Pot. However, dictatorship is a bad idea, and he led Italy into wars distatrous for all concerned, as the inhabitants of Italy and other countries found out.
Leaders/rulers care only for Power in all of its forms, everything they do is for that singular purpose. Anything else that happens along the way, 'good' or 'bad,' is merely a product of this phenomena.
Nothing wrong with fascism
@@AlexanderLittlebears fancy seeing you here
Fascist architecture is also still present in the South Italian coastal city of Bari, specifically in the palace of the Aqueducts (in function of the Apulian aqueduct built in the 20s/30s), it's filled with magnificent mosaics and marble art representing water's role in rural life!
That being said, nice video!
But this building does not control the railways!
A building is not to be experienced on paper, on phone screens, but in person. If they feel human, they are serving the purpose. If they feel overpowering, someone's trying to show you that they are superior than they should be.
Brutalism in a minimalist coat
unflattering.
I think the building for National Fascist Party looks like it came right out of Walter Gropius' design book. If it had, then this wouldn't be called Fascist. I think these buildings are only labeled Fascist because they came about during Italy's Fascist era. They would not be that out of place if they were built 30 years on either side of the Fascist era.
My criticism of the Architecture profession is that it always seems more about narrative than actual design. Every architect has a narrative, and it is rare, extremely rare in my opinion, that a narrative matches the building it's describing. Architectural narratives never seem to match reality in my opinion.
The Italian Fascist usually build in a style they called Rationalism to show the Roman heritage, but also the incredible progress in technology during the era. Today fascism is seen as backwards, but at the time it was seen as progressive. The way to look progressive during that time was Modernism and although the Bauhaus was a big movement, similar developments were going on in a lot of other places. EUR is for the most part Modernism in a classical order.
Germany is a different story. The Nazis did built Modern architecture, but they tended to be more traditional with large government buildings. Still stripped down, but Modernism was mainly used for factories and private buildings.
Amazing video
Thank you for watching
Italian Rationalism during fascist time would better to say.
Fascist or not it is GREAT.
Gothic, Neo-classical, Classical, and other such forms of Architecture are superior to any ¨post-modern¨ architectural notion by the simple fact of their beauty, fascist or not, the importance of a building is its beauty and functionality according to its nature and purpose: of course, a Church which is a temple to God almighty should seek to elevate itself up to Heaven, of course, a nationalist building should convey nationalist ideals, what else are these buildings for? why would anyone create beauty for something ugly and brutalist-like such as democracy, socialism, and other ugly and unnatural ¨post-enlightenment¨ ideas and institutions that are fundamentally wrong and in standing against beauty or anything good and worthy of praise? let it be fascism then if that is what will make good buildings and healthy societies, God knows democracy and post-modern architecture won´t bring us anywhere, at least anywhere good.
I suppose it can only really be fascist if a fascist (or other totalitarian, like communist) built it. Very few buildings are asymmetrical, and even vernacular, irregular and ornamented buildings can feature in fascist/nationalist theory (Heidegger and German fascism). I don't know if villa la rotunda is in any way fascist, but it has overbearing symmetry on a central plan.
O conj. arquitetônico dos prédios públicos do antigo governo federal no Castelo (centro do RJ -Brasil) são dessa época. O fascismo tupiniquim foi de 1937-1945(Estado Novo)
Fascist architecture brings the Deutsches Stadion to mind. Really, really, monumentally huge. The massive scale, that can make an individual feel so insignificant, is what I associate with Fascist architecture. Or the buildings in Fritz Lang's movie, Metropolis.
it is majestic
There is no meaningful difference within the Western paradigm. Read "Nihilism" by Fr. Seraphim Rose.
I find fascist architecture to be more sterile knock offs of old great traditional architecture. I see what they wanted to harken back to if that's the case, but they didn't deliver on it very much. Realistically probably because of political instability at the time and costs involved to produce such things.
Le fascisme est toujours moderne, toujours !
I did not like it. But the statues are cool in buildings.
Everyone loves Hugo Boss.
Buildings I don't like, mostly.
Sounds like Chadi?
🙇🏻♂️
@@encreetaquarelle8096 great video
Beauty is beauty. It does not matter who or what ideology produced it. Intelligent people are able to disconect the product from the producer, if the product or the producer is good for humanity or beaitiful.
You know that the colosseum can be seen as facist too?
Easily some of the ugliest architecture I've ever seen, right in line with much of the architecture we see in high rises and condo units being built today.
It's quite depressive and very, how can I say unhuman
Edit : distopian and depressing
Copium
😩 'Promo SM'
Fascism, Communism and socialism is the same ideology but with differents names.
not at all you fool, fascisn is far right wing. communism and socialism are lefy wing
I think it is quite ugly actually
I love their architecture and art.
and other things :p
I dislike -ism based architecture and city planning because it ends up turning everything into a kind of miserable cattle run. We should return to unzoned settler hodgepodge with elementary schools and an H&R Black between a steel mill and a strip mall.
All socialist architecture seems to be repetitive, domineering and made of concrete whether it be fascist or communist.
fascist architecture does put beautiful statues everywhere and tended to painted over thier concrete. unlike soulless commies with thier grey brutalist concrete tower blocks.
Italy wasnt socialist, it was fascist. totally different idology... socialists and communists were their mortal enemy
