Yes, it was a „election poster“ for the 1934 „elections“, and the building is the Palazzo Braschi, where the fascist party had their HQ.
The „SI“ all over the poster is Italian for yes, since the „choice“ you had in this „election“ was this: yes or no… (They were already in power at the time, so that was no real election.)
I think it’s a pre-war Benito Mussolini propaganda poster
wow, I was assuming metropolis. it just screams dystopia to me, but I guess they had to get that aesthetic from somewhere
It was certainly a dystopia for many people. Such places have existed many times before. We shouldn’t take our freedom for granted.
