REGIMES OF THE 20 CE
Forlì (118,000 inhabitants) lies in the heart of Romagna,
on the plain at the foot of the Apennine mountains
crossed by the ancient Via Aemilia. The Forlì area is rich
in history and culture, surrounded by areas of natural
beauty and is famous for its food and wine.
known local engineers. A large part of the town was
designed from scratch, whereas much of the old historic
centre was demolished and reconstructed. These
interventions considerably changed the appearance
of the city and highlighted the authoritarian and
monopolistic presence of the state.
Forlì thus constitutes an open-air museum rich in
landmarks of the architecture of the regime, both in
terms of public buildings (the Aeronautical School,
Fascist Youth Headquarters, the Industrial and Technical
Institute) and private houses constructed according
to the architectural trends of the period: classicism,
eclecticism, the rationalism skilfully proposed by
Cesare Valle, the best disciple of the famous architect
Marcello Piacentini, and the stile littorio inspired by
ancient Roman architecture.
Forlì also has a number of libraries and research
institutions where visitors can carry out research into
the cultural and social history of the twentieth century.
The city also owns the Verzocchi Collection which
includes works of the foremost Italian painters of the
mid-twentieth century, and “Ebe” the magnificent

- the Visigoths, the Byzantines, etc. By the year 1000
the city had proclaimed itself a Ghibelline Republic.
In the medieval period, Forlì was governed by the
Ordelaffi family, by Caterina Sforza and by Cesare
Borgia before it became part of the Papal States. The
19th century was dominated by Aurelio Saffi (1819–
1890), a Forlivese much involved in the process of the
unification of Italy. In the first half of 1900 the city
was strongly influenced by Mussolini, who was born
near Forlì and who chose it as a model city. In spite of
this, Forlì actively contributed to the resistance and the
liberation of Italy from Nazism and Fascism.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Mussolini had such a special
interest in the architectural renovation of the city that
Forlì became known as the città del Duce. Famous

Fratta Terme spa in the twentieth century
Fratta Terme is a spa resort located in the territory
of Bertinoro (11,600 inhabitants), a large area that
stretches from the Apennine hills to the plain. Bertinoro
offers a beautiful landscape and breathtaking views and
the area is rich in history and culture, wine and food.
Fratta Terme, near Bertinoro is one of the best preserved
spa resorts built according to the canons of rationalist
architecture in Italy. Although the mineral springs
of Fratta were visited by important members of the
intellectual elite of the time, such as Grazia Deledda, in
1927 they were still completely devoid of an important
resort. To draw attention to the town, Mussolini
commissioned a campaign of excavations to discover the
ancient Roman origins of the resort. During the 1920s,
Adelio Colitto identified the seven different thermal
waters that spring from the Rio Salso river still today and
carried out the plumbing work necessary to preserve the
purity of the sources from possible pollution.
In 1936, the Fascist National Institute for Social Security
(INFPS) purchased the spa in Fratta and Giambattista
Giocoli was commissioned to build the imposing
structure of the Grand Hotel. The hotel consists of two
large buildings joined by a central body.
The front of the building is an 80m convex curve facing
the road. Its monumentality celebrates Fratta’s Roman
origins. The front of the building is punctuated by a
sequence of highly decorative pairs of columns. The
building remains one of the best examples of rationalist
architecture in the area.
During the growth of the spa, it was necessary to make
visible a tangible presence of the Regime. In 1932, the
construction of the “Casa del Fascio” began. The style
of the building, designed and built by Dino Bissi, clearly
recalls the work of Cesare Bazzani in Forlì in the 1930s.
From the town of Fratta Terme, you can reach Bertinoro,
the “balcony of Romagna”, where you can visit the
castle that hosts the Interreligious Museum and the
medieval historical village.

In the heart of Romagna lies Castrocaro Terme, 10 km
from Forlì on the road connecting Ravenna to Florence. It
is famous for its thermal waters and tourism.Castrocaro
was already known to the Romans as “Salsubium” for its
salty waters.
Castrocaro and the spa in the 1930s
Castrocaro was inaugurated as a modern spa town
in 1938. The project included the construction of the
baths, the Grand Hotel and the Festival Hall. It was
constructed by Diego Corsani who, in turn, was advised
by Tito Chini whose style can be seen throughout
the whole complex. The spa covers an area of 2,440
metres and gives an impression of comfort and style
thanks to majestic interiors and façades decorated with
terracotta, travertine and marble.
The Grand Hotel has a variety of facilities, with large
spaces and extensive views. It consists of three
splendid buildings set in an 8-hectare botanical garden.
It includes small private rooms, dining rooms and
ambitious staircases in the Liberty style of the architect,
designer and decorator Tito Chini.
Castrocaro Terme
Ruled by the Church until 1403, Castrocaro came under
Florentine rule until the unification of Italy. Since the 19th
century the town has attracted tourists because of its
healing waters, exploited since Roman times. The town
has a medieval structure with an imposing fortress.
Festival Hall
The Festival Hall is an excellent example of Liberty
style with decorative elements and original majolica.
It is surrounded by parks and gardens and can
accommodate up to 400 people. It includes a main hall,
the cards room, the red room, the spring room and the
billiards room.
Terra del Sole
Terra del Sole (Heliopoli) was built by the grand duke of
Tuscany Cosimo I de' Medici between 1564 and 1579
as an ideal Renaissance town where the dimensions
and proportions of the buildings perfectly reflect the
harmony of the universe. When completed, the town
became the main centre of the province of Tuscan
Romagna. The main square, Piazza Garibaldi, conveys
the charm of a Renaissance town despite inevitable
modern changes.

1904. From the 1920s onwards in particular, the new
promenade, Avenue Carducci, saw the construction of
a number of prestigious buildings and small villas in
Liberty style, An example is the Grand Hotel overlooking
the Piazza Andrea Costa designed by Rutilio Ceccolini.
While the beach area saw the development of small
villas and hotels (eg. Eritrea, Britannia, Lido), in the
eastern and western suburbs there was space for the
construction of a number of seaside residences - 73 in
Cesenatico alone. These were commissioned by state
agencies, large industries or religious institutions, and
stand out as examples of architectural experimentation
and research. The most important is undoubtedly
the “Sandro Mussolini” (1937-1938), designed by
Giuseppe Vaccaro for AGIP. The new rationalist style
is also expressed in some private residences such as
the Villa Capecchi (1934), by Matteo Focaccia, and
the Villa Placucci (1937) by Saul Bravetti, who also

to the sea for its commercial and military needs. After
two centuries of destruction and reconstruction,
the port became so important from a defensive and
hydraulic point of view, that Leonardo Da Vinci was
commissioned to make a careful analysis of the town¸
as can be seen from two studies by him.
Subsequently, the port which was affected by the
general crisis of Mediterranean trade and became a
small fishing town. In 1849, Garibaldi left for Venice
from Cesenatico, an episode which was highly
important for the memory and identity of the town in
the early decades of the new unitary state. Cesenatico
is now a flourishing seaside resort.

Dimitrovgrad is situated at the very heart of the Upper
Thracian Valley, along the course of the river Maritsa.
It belongs to the district of Haskovo, and is situated in
its northernmost part. Its particular geography gives
it a major role as a crossroads of southern Bulgaria,
the European corridors EC10 and EC9 crossing its
territory. It is 220 km from Sofia, and 18 km from the
district centre Haskovo.
On 2 September 1947, the Communist government
officially announced that a new town, Dimitrovgrad,
was to be built, and organized brigades for this purpose.
The construction and expansion of the town continued
intensively for several more years. The main practical
reason behind the new city was to create a modern
industrial centre, although there was also a major
ideological reason behind its construction.
The urban design of the town was functional in
concept and is a unique example of it type. The specific
architectural complex represents a particular expression
of 19th century neoclassicism, interpreted in the spirit
of the modern European urban planning thought of the
1920s and 1930s. Dimitrovgrad is thus a sort of a openair museum, a mirror of the spirit of a period which is
inextricably bound up with Bulgarian history.
Particular places of interest for the tourist include the
Historical Museum, the Penyo Penev Museum (the
house of the poet of this name), the Petko Churchurliev
Art Gallery, the Giordano Bruno Astronomic Observatory
and planetarium, the Apostol Caramitev Theatre and
the Sanctuary of the Nymphs and Aphrodite.
The urban design of Dimitrovgrad is similar to that of the
Roman Empire with has wide streets and large parks. It
is one of the greenest cities in Bulgaria with three large
parks, about 15 lakes, dozens of species of rare trees,
shrubs and flowers, sculptures, gazebos and fountains.
The construction of Dimitrovgrad was intended to
be one of the biggest successes of the state and the
government during the 1950s.

Iasi, an important political, economic and cultural
centre of the province of Moldova as well as one of the
oldest cities in Romania, is located in the northeastern
part of the country. It has a popultaion of 315,214 and
has a rich potential for cultural tourism, with a major
heritage of totalitarian architecture.
In 1565, Iasi became the capital of Moldavia and for a
short period of time, from 1859 until 1862, the capital
of Romania. In 1945, the Yalta Agreement made
Romania part of the Soviet system, and in 1947, the
communists proclaimed Romania a People’s Republic.
In 1964, Romania declared its autonomy within
Comunist Bloc, and in 1967, Nicolae Ceausescu became
President of the Council of State merging leadership
of state and party. Rapid economic growth fueled by
foreign credit gradually gave way to an austerity and
political repression that led to the fall of his totalitarian
government in December 1989.
Iasi has more than 100 Orthodox churches¸ the oldest,
the Princely Saint Nicholas Church, dating from the reign
of Stefan cel Mare (1457-1504). The finest, however,
are the 17th century the Metropolitan Cathedral (the
largest Orthodox church in Romania) and Trei Ierarhi
Church, the last a curious example of Byzantine art, built
by Vasile Lupu. Tourists should also visit the Palace of
Culture (neogothic style), Roznoveanu Palace (the City
Hall), Alexandru Bals House (The Philharmonic House),
National Theatre of Iasi, Traian Hotel, Alexandru Ioan
Cuza University, the Central University Library, the Golia
Monastery, the Botanical Garden, the Ruginoasa Palace,
the Cotnari Vineyards, the Cucuteni neolithic remains and
the Great Synagogue (the first synagogue in Romania).
In the comunist period, it was decided that the historic city
center could host also new buildings with a totalitarian
arhitectural style. Examples are the Prefecture, various
large blocks of flats, the Central Market and many others,
particularly those of the Union Square, all located in an
area of only 200 m2.

Labin is situated in the eastern part of Istria, one of the
most developed regions of Croatia, about 2 km from the
Adriatic sea. The old town is located on the top of the
hill 320m above sea level. The town has a population
of 6,884 inhabitants, and is surrounded by beautiful
unspoilt nature, in particular forests located on the
south coastal area.
The old town of Labin was developed on the site of a
prehistoric fortification, built by the Histri and Liburni
tribes. The name of Labin was mentioned for the
first time during the 2nd century BC in the works of
Artemidor from Emphesus. After the fall of the Roman
Empire, Labin changed rulers many times. Slavs and
Avars came to this area during the 7th century.
In 788 Franconians took over Labin and introduced the
feudal system. After their rule, in 1208 the Church of
Aquilea ruled the town until 1420 when Venice took
over the town. During the period of Venetian rule, many
buildings were built in Labin. After the Venetians, Labin
was ruled by Austrians and then the French, but from
1813 Austria ruled Labin until 1918. During this period
a mine was opened in Labin. After the First World War,
Labin came under the rule of Fascist Italy. After the
Second World War, Labin became part of Yugoslavia
and subsequently, in 1992, Croatia.
The modern part of Labin (Pozzo Littorio) with nearby
Raša (Arsia) are mining towns built during the period of
Fascist rule in Istria (1936-1942) when the government
decided to establish “planned cities” in the style of
Italian rationalism. Eugenio Montuori was responsible
for the town plan of Podlabin. The most representative
examples of this architecture, including the Torre
Littoria, Ceva and Church of Mary from Fatima¸can be
found in the industrial zone, Pijacal, and on the main
square. Architect Gustavo Pulitzer Finali designed and
built Raša with its unique Church of St. Barbara and
House of the Fascist Party.
On the main street of the old town one can pay a visit
to the birth-house of Matthias Flacius Illyricus and
the Town Museum with its archaeological exhibition
and miniature coal mine. The Park of Mediterranean
Sculptors Symposium in nearby Dubrova features over
70 forma viva stone sculptures.

Tirana is situated on the Tirana Plain 110 m above sea
level and surrounded by mountains. The founding and
later development of the city was possible because of
its favourable geographic position on a fertile plain,
rich in forests, land for agricultural use and water, and
by its location on the crossroads that link the Adriatic
Sea with eastern Albania and with the Balkan Peninsula.
Tirana was founded in 1614 and began to develop as
a town in the 18th century, as a trade centre for silk
and cotton fabrics, leather, ceramics pottery, iron, silver
and gold artefacts. It became the capital of Albania
in 1920 and is the largest city of the country. The first
urban plan was made in 1923. The centre of Tirana was
planned in the beginning of 1930s by Italian architects.
After 1945 the development of the city was based on
an urban planning with a mix of Russian architecture,
including standard residential buildings, and later, in
the 1980s, modern Albanian architecture.
Tirana is home to five well-preserved museum-houses,
56 cultural monuments, eight public libraries, and the
National Library of Albania.
To get a sense of the history of Tirana, take a walk from
Mother Teresa Square, down by the park, along to the
end of Boulevard Zogu I, near the train station. This
is the city’s principal axis and represents fragments
of the history of Albania. The marble buildings of the
university, the University of Arts and the Rectorate
Building with its columns remind us of Italian Fascism.
The Palace of Congress and the Presidential Residence,
on the other hand, belong to the communist period. The
Rogner Hotel was built in the 1990s in a more modern,
European style. On the eastern side of Skanderbeg
Square, the Ethem Bey Mosque stands in ancient and
apparently eternal rivalry to the Venetian watch tower
behind. The square also hosts the Palace of Culture
with the National Library and the Theatre of Opera
and Ballet (a Soviet gift to Albania) and the National
Museum. All of these are classic examples of socialistrealist architecture. The city is also home to the other
natural and historical sites such as Tirana Castle, Tirana
Mosaic, Fortress of Justinian, Kapllan Pasha’s Grave
and Tabak Bridge.

Predappio is situated in the valley of the river Rabbi,
about 16 km from Forlì, in a hill area 130m above sea
level. It covers a large area and has many places of
cultural and natural interest. It is one of the main
areas for Sangiovese, the most typical red wine from
Romagna.
Today the monuments that we can still admire are
significant examples of rationalist architecture and
represent an historical and artistic heritage of great
value. The principal buildings are as follows: Lord
William Becker’s House, the Post Office, the Adone
Zoli Elementary School, the Santa Rosa Convent and
Nursery School, Palazzo Varano and the Monumental
Stairway, popular housing, the Carabiniere barracks,
the old slaughterhouse and the Foro Boario, the old
marketplace and the Local Health Building (all built by
Florestano Di Fausto between 1925 and 1942), San
Cassiano Cemetery (by Di Fausto and Cesare Bazzani
between 1928 and 1933), the Basilica of S. Antonio
(Bazzani 1929-1938), the Casa del Fascio (Fascist
House - Arnaldo Fuzzi, 1934-1937), Palazzo Caproni
(the former site of the Caproni Aviation Factory), the
ex-G.I.L. building (Giovani Italian del Littorio - Cesare
Valle, 1937), the I.N.A. building (National Insurance)
- the Appennino Hotel, the Opera S. Camillo Nursing
Home and the Villa Castelli (E. De Angeli 1940-1941).
Predappio was constructed in 1927 as a foundation
town. Migration to the valley from the original
settlement, Predappio Alta, in the hills, led to the
transformation of the hometown of Mussolini into
a town built according to the rules of rationalist
architecture and town planning.
The planning of the new town aimed to relate the poor
farming origins of the Duce to the modernity to which
the Fascist regime aspired through a programme of
public works. The buildings were realized by some of
the most important Italian architects of the time, such
as Florestano Di Fausto, Cesare Bazzani, Cesare Valle
and Arnaldo Fuzzi.
By 1937, Predappio boasted all the symbols that
characterized the celebration of power, functional
to its primary role as town designed as a tribute
to the cult of the Duce and the myth of greatness.

There are also a number of public buildings (National

building in Kozarska Dubica, Prnjavor’s Administrative
building and the magnificent Railroad Station in Brcko

surroundings of the Hotel Kardial in Teslic, truly unique
in its architectural style and the attempt to marry steel
and concrete with natural beauty.
The development of architecture in Doboj, as well as
in the rest of the the country, was strongly influenced
by the medieval, Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian
conquerors. The arrival of professional Western
European architects towards the end of the 19th Century
brought Classicism, Art Nouveau and Pseudo-Moorish
styles of architecture to this areal. This colourful and
rich mosaic of styles changed its look after World War II
with the introduction of modern architecture - an eclectic
coexistence of “traditionalism” and "modernism". By
using steel and reinforced concrete, it simplified forms
and avoided ornamentation, which is in laymans terms
a socialist style of architecture. Even though this period
had a “colder look” compared to the previous styles,
it produced some of the most fascinating memorial

Thessaloniki is the second largest city of Greece, and
the capital of Central Macedonia. With strong economic,
industrial, commercial and political influences, it is
a city renowned for its long and rich cultural identity.
Current cultural activities include a range of festivals
and events, attracting national and international interest
and participation.
On the northern fringe of the Thermaic Gulf and bound
by Mount Chortiatis, Thessaloniki offers awe-inspiring
landscapes of commanding mountain ranges and hills
and a lively town centre with commercial and lifestyle
attractions.
Significant urban intervention projects have been
carried out in and around the Thessaloniki Port area,
placing it firmly on the map of commercial but also
cultural activities in the city. The Thessaloniki Port
Administration Headquarter Buildling is located on the
A Dock of the wider Port Area. The building represented
the government’s role of authority and innovation at
that time, through a rationalist architectural expression.
Its intention was to change the image of the city and
define a new point of reference in the urban landscape.
The Port, as it looks in its present state, was the
result of a gradual construction process. The first
work began in 1886 and was completed in 1904
under the supervision of Edm. Bartissol. Designed
by the Dimitriadi brothers, the Port Administration
Headquarter was built between 1939 and 1946 and has
been used for the Port’s administrative purposes since
then. It is expressive of the architecture of twentiethcentury Greece: an architecture trying to differentiate
itself from previous academic styles and even the local,
traditional northern-Greece trends. At the same time,
it expresses Greece’s architectural dilemmas, at a time
in which modernism had already been established in
Europe.
The main architectural attractions and places of interest
within the area include the Museum of Photography
(Warehouse A), “Kitchen-Bar” Restaurant (Warehouse
B), Multi-purpose exhibitions/ Museum of Cinema
(Warehouse C), Cinema spaces/Amphitheater Hall
(Warehouse D), Museum of Contemporary Art. All of
these attractions are on Dock A.

diversity and religious tolerance.
building¸ was never started. In the 1980s, on the same
place a monument to Lenin was erected.
The architectural complex as a whole was completed
in 1957. The exterior of the buildings has features
of totalitarian architecture with a strong ideological
“socialist realism” style. The interiors of the buildings
are impressive and include decorations which were
part of the monumental art period (the hammer and
sickle, five-pointed stars, heads of wheat etc.). There
is for example, a huge red five-pointed star on the top
of the pyramid which constitutes the front of the Party
House, although at present it is housed in the Museum
of Socialist Art in Sofia.
Tourists can see see official rooms, lobbies, the concert
hall, flights of stairs and some offices. In addition,
there is full access to the whole building of the Central
Department Store. A guided tour service is available.
Other examples of totalitarian architecture which can
be seen in Sofia include the National Palace of Culture

During the early 1950s, a series of architectural
competitions were held to attract experts from Bulgaria
and the Soviet Union. The projects realised represented
smaller examples of larger monumental compositions.
This architectural complex includes the Communist
party (Party House) building, the Ministry of Heavy
Industry, the Balkan hotel, and the Central Department
Store. The architectural composition is absolutely

area which was later named the “Largo”. The overall

Brief history of the architecture of the 20th century
Forlimpopoli is a historic Italian town of 13,160
inhabitants in the Emilia Romagna region. Located on
the Via Emilia, between Forlì and Cesena. It stands at the
centre of an area rich in history, art and culture, famous
for its culinary traditions and wine. Forlimpopoli is the
birthplace of Pellegrino Artusi, known as the father of
Italian gastronomy.
Forlimpopoli was founded by the Romans in 132 BC.
In 663 it was destroyed by the Lombard King Grimoaldo,
but the city was rebuilt and got municipal autonomy
in the twelfth century. Forlimpopoli took part in the
struggles between the Church and the Empire and
was destroyed for the second time in 1361 by Cardinal
Albornoz. The reconstruction of the city and the
building of the fortress and the city walls were carried
out thanks to the Ordelaffi family that dominated
Forlimpopoli until 1504. Under the Lordship of Brunoro
II Forlimpopoli became the seat of a princely court
and lived a moment of glory for arts and letters. At
his death, in 1578, the city returned under the direct
control of the Pope until the arrival of the French troops
in 1797. During the Risorgimento Forlimpopoli patriots
were involved in the riots of 1831, and in 1851 it was
looted by the highwaymen of Stefano Pelloni, called “il
Passatore”. Because of this dramatic event Pellegrino
Artusi left Forlimpopoli to move to Florence. Here in
1891 he published "Science in the Kitchen and the Art
of Eating Well", a world-famous cookery book.

At the beginning of 20th century the city knocked down
its Renaissance walls to expand the historic old centre
with a series of bourgeois villas in academic style.
During the Fascist period the Teacher Training school
was restructured and expanded. It was of particular
concern for the Duce as he graduated as a teacher
here. The same period saw the construction of the
stadium and the “G.I.L.” sports stadium, designed by
Cesare Valle, an excellent example of rationalism. The
industrial buildings of the period include the Spinadello
aqueduct in Selbagnone and SAPIA the plant for the
production of pure alcohol.
The town includes also a renaissance fortress, the
Basilica of San Rufillo, Tower Palace, the Church of
Servants, Casa Artusi, the Archaeological Museum and
a nineteenth-century theatre.
