The commercial and financial centre of Italy and the birthplace of fascism, Milan played a central role in constructing fascism’s national image and identity as it advanced from a revolutionary movement to an established state power.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsing a wide range of archival sources, Lucy M.

Maulsby establishes the extent to which Milan’s economic structure, social composition, and cultural orientation affected \u003cem\u003eIl Duce\u003c\/em\u003e’s plans for the city, demonstrating the influences on urban development that were beyond the control of the fascist regime. By placing Milan’s urban change in its historic context, this book expands our understanding of the relationship between fascism and the modern city.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAbbreviations\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
