"March on Rome, " Bronze with Male Nudes Marking the 1922 Fascist Rise to Power
About the Item
A remarkable example of Art Deco sculpture-cum-propaganda art, this bronze panel -- unique to our knowledge -- was sculpted by Giovanni Battista Tedeschi to mark the rise of fascism in Italy and Benito Mussolini's ascension to power. The central nude figure -- surrounded by the crowds that participated in the 1922 March on Rome -- is carrying the fascia, symbol of the movement. To the right and left are kneeling nude male figures, and in the upper corners are portraits of Mussolini and General Emilio De Bono (who was a leader of the movement in its early days but later turned against Mussolini). Tedeschi was born in the Piedmont and participated in a series of national art exhibitions in Brera in 1916, 1922, 1924 and 1925.
