Main Point: Under Mussolini, Italy was a bit more lenient in artistic freedom compared to Nazi Germany and Stalin's USSR.
Real-world Example: Imagine a school where two teachers are super strict about uniform rules, and one is slightly relaxed. Mussolini's Italy was like the relaxed teacher in this world of art.
Mussolini's favorite art styles
Neoclassicism: Inspired by ancient Rome. Think of grand columns, majestic buildings, and sculptures.
Modernism: This was more abstract. Imagine blobs of color and weird shapes that make you tilt your head and go, "Hmm."
Fascists were all about that neoclassical vibe! They controlled artists by
Giving them money (government funds)
Offering special jobs (commissions)
Making them join the "Syndicate of Professional Artists" (like an exclusive club)
Fun Fact: Some artists still got private jobs, and those in the syndicate had some wiggle room to experiment with their style.
Mussolini's Political Moves 🏛
Main Point: By 1926, Mussolini achieved "ultimate boss level" in politics.
Real-world Example: Think of a gamer who completes all levels of a game and becomes the game master. Mussolini was the political "game master" by 1926.
Parliament? More like Mussolini's personal cheer squad! They couldn't really debate his ideas anymore.
Armed forces? They were loyal to the King, but guess what? The King was wrapped around Mussolini's finger!
However, not all was rosy. Some hardcore Fascist Party members wanted more - a full-blown "Fascist revolution."
