The story

What Is Ben Building: Mussolini, Monuments and Modernism About?

The premise of Ben Building: Mussolini, Monuments and Modernism without spoilers.

Jonathan Meades explores the architecture of Mussolini’s regime, following in the footsteps of his previous investigations into Hitler and Stalin. His journey takes him through Rome, Milan, Genoa, Sabaudia, and to significant military memorials. The documentary reveals a surprising tension between Mussolini’s ambitions and the competing architectural styles of modernism and a revival of ancient Roman aesthetics. The result was a diverse range of buildings, influenced by the Futurists, that continue to shape architectural design today, while also examining the nature of fascism and Mussolini’s personal tastes.
