Description

Attilio Teruzzi, Mussolini’s commander of the Black Shirts, exemplified fascism’s obsession with male strength. Through the story of his broken marriage to a young Jewish American opera star, Victoria de Grazia explores the cult of masculinity on which the New Rome was to be built, revealing the seductive appeal of fascism.
