Bologna Ugo Bassi Art Work
About Ugo Bassi Art Work
Along the middle of Ugo Bassi street is a large office and shopping complex looking quite plain and ordinary. However, just above where people queue for the bus is a series of approximately 72 pieces of art work. There doesn’t appear to be any details readily available concerning the art but it may be assumed that since the construction of the building itself dates to around the early to mid 1900s that there’s actually a fascist element in these designs.
This inference to fascism can be seen in the figures and details represented in each tablet. For example, many of the human figures are clearly depicting men and women hard at work; blacksmiths, joiners, labourers and factory workers.
Everyone is equal and must strive to work as hard as the next person thus, serving a fascist mandate that does not differentiate between a doctor and a secretary.
Industries are also represented here such as ship building, engineering, farming, education, health and so forth. Again, underpinning another significant fascist attribute which seeks to promote national pride and success as a measure of their superior makeup.
