EDITORS COMMENTS
The caption for the print of "I give the floor to the pickaxe" said the Duce, personally starting the great work. . . (colour litho) by Beltrame, Achille would describe a powerful and symbolic moment in Italian history. The image captures Benito Mussolini, known as Il Duce, initiating the grandiose project of isolating the Mausoleum of Augustus in Rome. In this illustration for Courier Sunday on November 4th, 1934, Mussolini is seen actively participating in demolishing parts of the ancient structure. Surrounded by a crowd of Italians and members of his staff, Mussolini wields a pickaxe with determination and purpose. This scene exemplifies both his political power as Prime Minister and his commitment to fascist ideology. The presence of tools and builders symbolizes progress and nationalistic pride. The photograph showcases not only Mussolini's role as a politician but also his connection to Roman history. By demolishing parts of an old building associated with imperial Rome, he seeks to establish himself as a modern-day leader capable of reshaping Italy into an empire once again. This image serves as propaganda for fascism during that time period. It highlights Mussolini's strong leadership qualities while appealing to nationalist sentiments among Italians. The destruction depicted represents breaking away from old traditions and making way for new foundations aligned with fascist ideals. Overall, this print captures an important moment in Italian history when politics intersected with architecture and nationalism under Mussolini's rule.
