In this book, Antonio Pennacchi takes a fascinating journey through the so-called "cities of the Duce," the numerous new towns created by the Italian fascist regime to promote agrarian revolution and the ideal of autarky. Through detailed research, the author explores the history, architecture, and current state of these settlements, from the Pontine Marshes to the colonies in Libya.
The work combines historical rigor with a personal and critical perspective, analyzing how these cities, conceived under the same urban model, have evolved over time. It is an essential read for understanding a unique chapter of 20th-century urbanism and political history in Italy, offering a unique perspective on the material legacy of that period.
