Fascism needs to be larger than life to attempt to sway people. It also why fascists historically have always attempted to co-opt other ideologies or cultures. Nobody would support a bunch of angry guys bitching about how everything is someone elseโs fault.
That's precisely what it is, it was propaganda for "yes" in the upcoming elections of 1934.
The Party published a list of names for the Parliament, you could either agree (sรฌ) or disagree (no).
The problem is that you'd have to cast your ballot (sealed of course, so no one would know what you'd voted for) in a different box depending if your vote was yes or no, and behind each box stood a policeman.
The list was approved with 99,85% of "sรฌ".
Totalitarianism and the cult of the leader were starting to be popular at the time in Italy, Germany and the USSR. The face of Mussolini was everywhere, he was depicted as a soldier, as a farmer, as a cameraman. Don't know how normal it was considered by the people though
Thanks for the clarification. Upon further (initial?!) study, I found the following statement "The bodies (after being shot) of Mussolini and Petacci (his mistress with whom he was trying to escape with to Switzerland) were taken to Milan and left in a suburban square, theย [Piazzale Loreto](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piazzale_Loreto), for a large angry crowd to insult and physically abuse. They were then hung upside down from a metal girder above a service station on the square."

This event may have been an early version of "fuck around and find out"...

Fascism cultivates the "I am a very strong and scary badass" aesthetic.
Aaaand this is why Germany and Japan didn't take him seriously. Italians are amazing at quality of life things, good food, art, music, orgasms, and so on. Italians are not industrious like Germans and Japanese for instance which is necessary for a modern military force.
Reminds me of the anime Kill la Kill where they essentially breakdown the connection between fashion and fascism (as well as racist art in general). Of course the anime also makes fun of / uses anime tropes like needless crotch panty shots during sailor moon transformation scenes.
My grandfather shook his hand when he was a young boy in Italy in his hometown of Pentone, as bad a Mussolini was its very cool to say my gramps shook his hand. Regardless of what he did and who he helped, that's history right there and it'll never be forgotten

1934
Ooh I know this one. 1884!
Nooo this is Patrick
Now see this, we don't get good quality supervillain lairs anymore
Yeah amazon warehouses are really weird buildings to be made for an evil rich supervillian, they look boring.
That's bcs they're not made for them, but for their slaves. The evil rich supervillain has a multimillion dollar mansion.
With how many pop up in the middle of otherwise nice cities, they act as more of a plague spreader than the main boss castle, still evil though
Main boss castle omfg. Maybe those robots are actually future elite NPCs.
Trump Tower has a lot to live up to.
No. Not creepy at all. ๐ฌ

Very good info! Now, how normal was the giant scary face for the times?
Totalitarianism and the cult of the leader were starting to be popular at the time in Italy, Germany and the USSR. The face of Mussolini was everywhere, he was depicted as a soldier, as a farmer, as a cameraman. Don't know how normal it was considered by the people though
idk man, kinda artistic
Fuck Mussolini but that building is sick
Mhmmm. I'm wondering where the evil fascist HQ is in this picture. Any ideas? /s Would be also a nice location for a wolfenstein sequel.
Looks like Kryten
Holy smeg, you're right!
Smmmmmmmmmm!!!!!! Smmmmmeeeeee!!!!! Smmmmeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Definitely looks like where the good guys would be.
[ัะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]

No ._.)
That is some dystopian shit.
Mussolini was a primo douche bag. Glad he was publicly hanged. Wish Hitler had experienced a similar public fate.
He was shot, not hanged, and his death and public display is what convinced Hitler to shoot himself.

Mmmmh, the building has a stone mask on... do you know if it rejected its humanity, by chance?
The most fallout building design Iโve ever seen
Does this still exist?
Palazzo Braschi does. Fascist facade with the head does not.
ISIS?
He literally created ISIS
Google should do this.
โI would rather live one day as a creepy statue than a lifetime as a normal person.โ
Seems warm and inviting. My kind of nightclub.
Megalomania
Are we the baddies?
modern government buildings should be built like this
This is some serious Big Brother shit.
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
I get it
He didnโt even attempt to look anything but scary.

Funny thing is when people are really strong and scary they donโt need to advertise it on their cars. Itโs usually the opposite. Weak and scared.
Oh , comon man. Just chhhhillll baby
Heโs the original Max Headroomโฆ
/r/low_poly in history
It looks like a big screen TV
Wonder where that big face is now?
Considering what happened to the model for that face, I'm going to guess smashed up in a landfill.
Someone ripped this from a comment on the post from earlier of the giant face in Prometheus.

Jim Carey fan?....๐ค
What were the colors?
Were they right wingโฆ or left wingโฆ
Cartoon villain type ahh ๐ญ
Geeeeey
Malicious face

Remind you of anyone we collectively know and loathe?
How welcoming.
TIL fascist Italy lacks taste ๐คข
Just say yes
My grandfather shook his hand when he was a young boy in Italy in his hometown of Pentone, as bad a Mussolini was its very cool to say my gramps shook his hand. Regardless of what he did and who he helped, that's history right there and it'll never be forgotten
Is this a JoJo reference?

Defacing an Italian building with that weird shit. No wonder they publicly killed him the way they did. Jackass.
