Summary:

"The best Italian propaganda photobook from the fascist era has to be Italia imperiale. A 'special issue' of the magazine La Rivista illustrata del 'popolo d'italia' (Italian People's Illustrated Magazine), this enormous volume is the ultimate guide to the Italy of Benito Mussolini, the Italian equivalent of the great Russian propaganda photographic books. This book combines some excellent modernist photography with painted illustrations and photocollages, but its immediate impact derives from its size--a full-page photograph or montage on this scale has enormous power, especially the many splendid industrial and architectural photographs in the New Vision style. ...Italia imperiale runs through more-or-less standard iconography of propaganda books, beginning with history...before introducing II Capo and accounts of Italy's ill-fated colonialist military adventures of the 1930s in such places as Ethiopia and Somalia, before we are given an extensive and interesting views of Italy under construction."--The Photobook : A History Volume I / Martin Parr and Gerry Badger. London : Phaidon, 2004.
