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'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.
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.
very interesting. I first laid eyes on the last building on your vlog in the 1999 Film "Titus". I have been to see that pyramid but none of the fascist buildings - very very interesting. thank you. You go to places many don't. Love your videos. Cheers.
This was excellent. You struck exactly the right tone between praise and condemnation. Fascinating point about how similar friezes and inscriptions in Germany would've been obliterated.
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 😢. .
I believe Roma termini was supposed to be a facist piece of architecture? I’m not very knowledgeable in Italian buildings but I do believe it was supposed to be facist but it got scrapped
@@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!
@@ItalyGuy No, actually it was mostly built after the war and the early 50's. And EUR, projected in the late 1930's for the XX year of fascist era, was completed after the war.
@@paolomacedone453 to be honest this isn't totally correct, the lateral building were mostly completed in 1943 but they were planned for different usage, you are right for the front part
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
What do you think about Fascist architecture? Let me know here in the comments 👇
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 always liked it. Has an Art Deco flair.
Fantastic buildings, I am glad the Italians preserved it. Thank you for sharing. Great video.
Thanks for watching!
I think the real reason to preserve those buildings is that they are beautiful, not that they are just part of history.

Thank you so much Joseph! It really warms my heart.

Not marble, but travertino on the exterior... GIL: GIOVENTU' ITALIANA del LITTORIO
This was excellent. You struck exactly the right tone between praise and condemnation. Fascinating point about how similar friezes and inscriptions in Germany would've been obliterated.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Some were erased, some not. Italian inefficiency is a good thing for history.
I agree preserve. The past!! Not good to destroy. Good or bad. Its our past. And we must learn from it.

Great video and a very different perspective from the typical centre of Rome. How did you learn to speak Italian so well?
Thank you Sabrina! I took courses in the Uni and also traveled a lot to practice.
Amazing ❤️🇮🇹
Very well explained, thanks for the video! Ive been there once, and its very big and has a lot of beauftiful places to be and see
Thx for this-EUR is well known, but GLI is not and your vid inside shows great beauty and can’t be found anywhere else.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Trasmigratori may be referred to aviation pioneers just like Italo Balbo or emigrants...(?)
Great works! Thank you!
Thank you!
We preserve everything actually...
Loved this!
Thank you so much!
I watched the whole 30 minutes and just hope that I got the sarcastic undertone right.

The new Termini building is indeed a fascist building.

@@frederick06bigbrain48 That's why I said "mostly"

Well said. Great!
Thank you!
man thats amazing. Italian architecture looks like a sort of brutalist architecture.
Littorio. Fascio Littorio was the symbol of fascism.
Noi tireremo dritto means We will go straight on.
Respect us! we have our rules and they must be respected, don't be arrogant, don't insult us. You can't do whatever you want.
Nerd 🥱

Everyone loved Mussolini at one point even Vladimir Lenin.What a tragedy that unfolded.

So sad seeing all the ghetto graffiti everywhere 😢
