In this episode, we examine how Italy’s architectural heritage from the fascist era continues to shape its cultural landscape. From rural towns to imposing monuments, these structures were built to project power and ideology. We explore how these buildings were used to control narratives and instill fascist values, but also how they have been repurposed, debated, and reinterpreted in post-war Italy. The episode delves into the tension between preserving history and moving forward, raising questions about how we deal with heritage that carries uncomfortable truths.
