Post Office, Piazza Bologna, Rome, Italy

Post Office, designed 1933 in Fascist style by Mario Ridolfi, on the Piazza Bologna, Rome, Italy. Fascist architecture developed in the late 1920s and 1930s, as a modernist style in times of nationalism and totalitarianism under Benito Mussolini. It is characterised by large, square, symmetrical buildings with little or no decoration, often inspired by ancient Rome and designed to convey strength and power. Picture by Manuel Cohen
