Between Censorship and Preservation: The Afterlife of Fascist-Era Monumental Art in Italy
Monuments of Italian Colonialism as a Transcultural Heritage: Invisibility, Restitutions, Absence
This essay addresses the material legacies of Italian colonialism, reframing them as a transcultural heritage. With a focus on the complex interplay between memory and displacement, the study retraces the biographies of selected historical monuments from the late nineteenth century to fascism up until postcolonial Italy. Comparing the life and afterlives of the Monument to the Fallen Soldiers of Dogali, still preserved in a public space in Rome, with monuments implicated in processes of restitution, such as the Axum Stele and the statue of the Lion of Judah, both returned to Ethiopia, the essay reflects upon the dynamics of invisibility and absence, examining decolonial claims, and new layers of memory that currently overlap in politically charged spaces

La Sapienza, il fascismo, una mostra. Snodi critici nella ricezione dell'arte del Ventennio negli anni Ottanta
This article focuses on the exhibition 1935 Gli artisti nell’Università e la questione della pittura
murale, curated by Simonetta Lux and Ester Coen, and arranged in the Palazzo del Rettorato of
La Sapienza University in Rome in 1985. The reconstruction of the exhibition project and its
narrative is framed in the cultural debate on the memory of fascism developed during the
1980s. In this decade, there is indeed a paradigm shift in the public reception of the art of the
Ventennio. By exploring a triangulation among research, exhibitions, and restorations, this
study traces the transition from the neglect and physical concealment of fascist iconographies
to the study and preservation of works of art related to fascist propagand
