And the Urbs, and the legionaries, and the centurions, and the Duce, and so on), in architecture, in the ‹Roman step›. The legions, the solid legionsauff !» 1 Calamandrei's antipathy toward Rome was typical of many critics of Mussolini's regime. In their eyes, Italian Fascism's invocation of the eternal spirit of Romeromanità -epitomised its absurdity and artifice. 2 Benedetto Croce dismissed romanità as «a word whose virtue lay in their very vacuity»; 3 to Paolo Nalli, it was «an incurable syphilis», a «relentless illness». 4 The ghosts of Roman triumphs were blam
