I tell you why they kicked you out from the Post Office: that also operates as a bank and for security reasons you can't use a camera in it.

I think the real reason to preserve those buildings is that they are beautiful, not that they are just part of history.

The Italian Rationalism goes beyond the fascism, even if connected with fascism. The most modern and important architect was Terragni, from Como. In Como you can find for example The Novum Comum and Palazzo Terragni (former Casa del Fascio). Greatest exampkes of modern architecture of the beginning of the last century.

Il Museo preistorico ora è diventato il Museo delle Civiltà. È un museo fantastico perché contiene una serie di musei, preistorico, di arte orientale, altomedievale,ecc.ecc. qui si conserva il nucleo più importante d'Europa di arte del Gandhara e di arte tibetana. Peccato che sia poco conosciuto dai turisti.

I agree preserve. The past!! Not good to destroy. Good or bad. Its our past. And we must learn from it. In Canada they are erasing a lot of Canada and names. It is a disgrace 😢. .

Thank you so much for making this video on Fascist architecture. I'm an architect and i absolutely loved it. For the first buildings near to the pyramid, it would be helpful to know what train stop to get off. And, if you have other Fascist architecture (besides the cemetery and the university) that are in Rome, please share that as well. Best regards, and please continue with the videos. Your commentary on the architecture is totally on point.

I'm a student of Architecture, and that was an amazing video tour that you just took us through !! Kind of takes me way back to a time long ago at Uni of Arizona, sitting in slide-lecture on architectural history of the Modern and 'Brutalist' architecture. Really great to see that the Italian government has saved these architectural works from the Fascist era, irregardless on the politics that spawned these buildings.

If politics was a issue all the Pyramids would be taken down world over. I don't consider the Fascist buildings as Brutalist [any more than Diego Rivera] but more modernist with touches of antiquity . Outside of architecture brutalism was more baroque in its other forms.

Great video and great tours of the interiors of those buildings! I'm surprised they let you inside so many of them and actually allowed you to film too! I visited Rome, including the EUR district last October and I loved the architecture, as well as the fact that there were almost no tourists lol. My only problem with that neighborhood is just how car-centric and pedestrian hostile it is, with the ultra-wide roads and punishingly long crossing distances, as well as of course the extremely narrow sidewalks. The Palazzo dei Congressi building that you visited in the EUR district at the end of the video is a very beautiful and interesting building. That building, as well as of course the EUR district in general, was used as a shooting location for many movies and films, including The Conformist, by Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci, the James Bond film Spectre, and even Equilibrium. I'm also surprised they let you into the perimeter of the Square Colosseum building!

@@ItalyGuy La stazione Termini è architettura fascista solo nelle parti laterali, la facciata fu costruita dopo la seconda guerra mondiale ed è un capolavoro assoluto dell'architettura moderna. È funzionale, entra in dialogo perfetto con le vicine mura serviane. Non sono molto amante dell'architettura moderna ma devo dire che questa stazione è veramente GENIALE!

There was no need for condemnations of any kind in the film. Fascism is BAD BAD BAD or Italians are stupid . I gather you are of descent given your proficiency in the language? My grandfather, A WW1 Carabinieri hated Mussolini. His idea was to come to America and go back to Italy to start a business however taxes made that difficult so he brought his family to America to stay. My uncle was randomly put into a Nazi firing squad and thus you get some idea why Mussolini in particular was not so well liked and even hated by many Italians. Mussolini's original intent was not to go to war with the Allies and really his biggest mistake. For a time Fascism was both respected and admired by the Anglos in America and the UK. including F.D.R.

fascism has become absolute evil and has died as it was conceived with the racial laws and the entry into war with Hitler... it had great consensus!! in 22 years many reforms were made to provide subsidies for orphans - for veterans of the first war for workers - for old age pensions... reforms that still exist today!! many good things were done that the "democrats" still today they don't want to recognize ..then everything was destroyed with that unholy alliance with Hitler we all know how it ended
