Original Italian Fascist youth magazine cover distributed under Benito Mussolini's Fascist state. It included stories and cartoons praising the regime and inculcating the tenets of Fascism. The design of the magazine drew from two movements, Futurism and Stile Littorio, a form of architecture and art favored by Mussolini's regime, characterized by a monumental, classicizing, and sometimes modern aesthetic with emphasis on symmetry, simplicity, and massiveness to convey the power of the state. It sought to create a recognizable national style by merging ancient Roman heritage with modernism.
