Relief, INPS building, EUR, Rome, Italy

Marble relief with angel with saints and evangelists, 1940, on the Palazzo dell'INPS, (the Istituto Nazionale della Previdenza Sociale or National Institute of Social Security), 1940-54, designed by Giovanni Muzio, Mario Paniconi and Giulio Pediconi, on the Piazza delle Esedre, renamed Piazzale delle Nazioni Uniti, built as part of the EUR or Expositione Universale di Roma (Rome Universal Exhibition), planned by Marcello Piacentini, Rome, Italy. Fascist architecture developed in the late 1920s and 1930s, as a modernist style in times of nationalism and totalitarianism under Benito Mussolini. It is characterised by large, square, symmetrical buildings with little or no decoration, often inspired by ancient Rome and designed to convey strength and power. Picture by Manuel Cohen
