Searching for Italy: Lessons from the Legacy of Fascist Architecture Today

Thu, February 22, 2024
4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
198 Hagerty Hall

Dr. Stephanie Pilat (University of Oklahoma) and Professor Kay Bea Jones (Ohio State University), authors and co-editors of "The Routledge Companion to Italian Fascist Architecture" will present “Searching for Italy: Lessons from the Legacy of Fascist Architecture Today.” 

DETAILS

The fascist regime constructed thousands of new buildings across Italy. From hospitals, government ministries and post offices to stadiums, housing and party headquarters, the physical legacy of the regime maintains a presence in nearly every Italian city and post-colonial territory today. Jones and Pilat will share some of the many stories of how the legacy of fascism is being reconsidered and rewritten by scholars, citizens and communities.
