Statua di Icaro

This is the type of place that for someone born and grown in Forlì has always been part of the landscape, and perhaps even too bulky at that. The sad bit is that the most interesting elements hidden inside the architectural block in the rationalist style that was a trademark of the Fascist era are rarely accessible to the public.If they were, more visitors could enjoy the mosaics in Roman style made to celebrate flight and flying machines at a time when the aeronautical industry was in its infancy.Clearly more visible, outside is the Icarus statue that Mussolini had erected in memory of the son he lost to a flying accident.

Bel pezzo di marmo sprecato.
