There's no getting round it. The Palace of Italian Civilization (pictured) is a genuinely beautiful building.

In reality, fascist architecture was just a version of the modernist architecture fashionable in the 1930s, as the article says. Chaillot Palace in Paris could pass as fascist but was built by a liberal democracy.
