Forum of Italy

Item #SQ3911398

Rome: U.S. Army Rest Center, 1944. 8 ¾ x 10 ¾ in. Offset. [60] pp. Perfect bound in wraps.

A wordless photobook documenting some of the fascist architecture of Italy, given as a souvenir to soldiers during the U.S. invasion of Italy. Significantly, the photographs are almost completely devoid of humans - a suggestion to the soldier, perhaps, to remember and celebrate the landscape, architecture, and sportsmanship of Italy and not the actual inhabitants of the country.
