| | Sabaudia (Lazio), 1934 -- some facts |
 | | During the Fascist era several new towns were built in Italy and its colonies, in addition to all the renewal projects that were executed in the cities. |
 | | To inhabit the area, the Fascists wanted war veterans, but very many of the new colonists were in reality troublesome anti-fascists, nominated to be sent south to a new destiny in the Pontine Marshes by local authorities in the north, grasping the opportunity to get rid of unwanted elements in their own society. |
 | | It is a symbol of power, and to the Italians it played on their history as well, eager as they were to tie the bonds to their once so glorious past, and prepare the way for the new and glorious Empire -- an Empire Mussolini hoped would measure up to his hero Augustus' Empire. |
