Mussolini's EUR, the fascist city outside of Rome, was built in the 30's (and rudely interrupted by World War 2). 'Fascist Modern' at it's best. Esteemed Time Magazine art critic Robert Hughes, once called the 'square coluseum' the most frightening building on earth. I'm not sure about that, but having seen it 3 years ago, I know it succeeds in it's intent. Frightening intimidation. Reducing the spectator to a tiny participant.
I thought the whole EUR 'campus', looked like an incredible, beautiful, cemetery come-to-life.
