Foro Italico
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Boasting To Everyone That His Forum Would Be Grander Than The Colosseum, Mussolini Created The Stadio Dei Marmi, Or Stadium Of Statues, An Arena Built Outside Rome For The 1944 Olympic Games That Were Postponed By World War Ii. Believing A Fascist State Required The Top Level Of Physical Fitness, Il Duce Provided Inspiration For His Nation In The Form Of Monumental Art, Commissioning Sculptors From All Over The Country To Create Sixty Herculean Statues Of White Marble To Be Put Atop Sixfoot Pedestals Surrounding The Stadium. The Statues, Based On Figures From Italian War Memorials, Embodied The Glorification Of The Athlete And The Mannered Heroism Of The Soldier. Startlingly Erotic And Poetic, Each Statue Stands Twelve Feet Tall, Nude But For The Occasional Headband Or Sandals. So Blatant Was Their Sexual Presence That The Statues Later Provoked Furtive Attempts At Decency Involving Fig Leaves And Loincloths.Once Relegated To The Category Of Political Kitsch, These Statues Have, In Recent Times, Been Reevaluated And Are Being Recognized As Objects Of Beauty And Merit. The Foro Italicosustains A Guileless, Perhaps Unique, Male Eroticism Which Is At Odds With The Grandiloquent Intentions Of Its Planner And Creators In Mussolinis Fascist Regime, Explains George Mott, Who First Glimpsed The Statues In 1962 And Photographed Them Twenty Years Later. His Blackandwhite And Color Images Of The Statues Have Been Sought By Collectors In Europe And America, And Have Been Used Repeatedly By Fashion Designers And Art Directors. In Foro Italico, For The First Time, These Photographs Are Being Shown Collectively, Exquisitely Reproduced In A Remarkable, Deluxe, Slipcased Edition That Includes An Introduction By Giorgio Armani, Himself A Connoisseur Of 1930S Art And Architecture.
