Résumé:

"Furnishing Fascism examines the subtle yet effective role of household goods and decor in the cultivation of Italy's exclusionary sense of national identity during Mussolini's fascist regime. Interweaving design theory, architectural history, and media scholarship, Ignacio G. Galán reveals the political entanglement of modernism in early twentieth-century Italy and offers valuable insight into the complications of cultural production under the auspices of authoritarian power"-- Provided by publisher.
