  • Notes: Described by Gerry Badger and Martin Parr as "The best Italian propaganda photobook from the fascist era," this heavily illustrated volume graphically reflects Benito Mussolini''s vision of pre-war Italy. Produced on a grand scale, each of the 624 pages measures an oversize 17 1/2x14 inches (44.4x35.5 cm.), providing more than ample space for the profusion of montages, modernist imagery, and overall mise-en-scene.
