EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Fasces" a powerful symbol deeply rooted in the history of Ancient Rome. The image features an axe firmly tied to a bundle of sticks, representing the strength and unity that characterized Roman magistrates. However, this particular representation holds even greater significance as it was adopted as the emblem by the Italian Fascists during the 20th century. Taken from Mussolini e il Facismo, a publication commemorating the rise of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, this photograph captures a pivotal moment in history. It serves as a visual celebration of his ascent to power and the establishment of fascism in Italy. The juxtaposition between ancient symbolism and modern politics is striking. The fasces, once revered for its association with justice and authority in Roman times, now takes on new meaning within an entirely different context. This transformation reflects how historical symbols can be co-opted and repurposed to serve political ideologies. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image from Rome in 1929, we are reminded of both the enduring power of ancient emblems and their ability to shape contemporary narratives. It prompts us to reflect on how symbols evolve over time and underscores the importance of understanding their complex histories before drawing conclusions about their present-day connotations.
