Mussolini’s
Building Plan
for Rome
r.r, A new building plan for Rome should
N’sider three aspects: Rome as a work of
K and a momumenf, Rome as a museum,
tf| ,as fhe town of the living, Napoleon,
first worldly souvereign of Rome got a
|hl'ding p]an for Rome made; fhe last dynasty
(j^'ted the alferations to the peripherical
^.9ders only. At present there is a lively
tj?,lviiy for a new Organisation of Rome, ini-
tu ed> by Mussolini himself. He demanded a
Ib^ building plan for the “Rome of fhe New
sJV“, and he himself criiic.ised, and1 altered
V; *eral firnes ihe plan which fhe Prince Ludo-
by'^oncompagni and a commission, formed
jd Nm, are enfrusted with. This commission
L/ded Rome info several zones which d'o
As lc'e fo Rome’s principle aspects: Rome

J? of fhe living.
j mosf interesfing and the most clearly
Wl*f' be ff*e Political Zone, comprising
1 sfrefch befween Mount Quirinatus, fhe
hf yfol, unfil ihe Tiber Island and fhe valley
e Circus Maximus. It is fhe classical
bq e as well as the quarfer of fhe Seicento
j%^Ces> and ihe monumental Rome of the
Aarean epoch.
I \ g fhe museal idea was necessarily do-
1 - especially as it could be expressed’
V^Nnely hcroically here. Present life had fo
8'Uish, as anyhow it was already fhin,
and stagnant enough there. There were
J'hici!0Us houses and places and Corners,
Ygj 9°uld charm the painter’s eye, but were
K^h'ically unsusiainable. Besides fhe mu¬

seum life was thriumphant as new healihy
condiiions- wpre created. Undoubtedly aesthe-
lic values had to be destroyedi where for in-
stance fhe Fora Nerva and Augustus are
being laid open and a road from Piazza Ve-
nezia to the Colosseum is being built. Build-
ings which consfanfly were in use are now
becomi-ng more objects of a museum. It means
a work to the extenf of which one finds no
simiilar case in fhe whole of Europe, in spite
of the Pergamon Museum in Berlin.
This Roman Museum comprises the whole
block of ihe Capitol, the theatre of Marcellus,
the Tiber Island, changed at present, but the
S. Bartolomeo cloister being fortunately pre-
served; ihen ihe Forum Trajanum which is
definitiv connecfed with the Trajan markets
and in the same time with the Piazza Venezia
and the Capitol hill. The Mount Quirinalis
fonms the background, the ascent which leads

there, ihe Via Biberatica, being laid free also
for the classical buildings.
The Forum of Caesar will reappear Ilten.
There is another large road planned from ihe
Piazza Venezia accross the Foro Italico i,n
the Direction of the Basilica Constantina to-
wards the Colosseum behind fhe Cathedral
S. Cosma. But of course there is nothing
definitly settled yet.
The whole of ihat zone is becoming a
museum; the oldesf medieval Settlement Rione
Campidoglie will be disappearing. The 19th
Century however has destroyed and altered
so much already fhat there is nothing much
left to speak of, except a few pittoresque
Corners with obscure dens.
The building plan for fhe so-called Sette-
cento quarter is far more audacious. It is
the zone round the Piazza di Spagna, where
fundamental changes are planned which might
risque to desfroy a pari of a still living Rome.
But as life is banished from the museum
zone it reolames its rights here. Modern frafic
needs the discharged Corso as a necessary
centre.
However there is no money available for
these works aciually, and unfil it will be dis-
posable, the plans will be revised several
firnes.
The alferations in the political zone are
going to be terminafed soorti. The enormity
of the change may be iftustrated by the fol-
lowing fact fhat 20 000 dwellings had to be
broken down so that practically a town has
been evacuated in Order to be transplanted
to Rome’s periphery.

International
Book-Show 1931,
Paris
Wondering,, whether nowadays the fine
book or the "ideal book” would still play a
fairly important part one sfarted for Paris
where this year the second International
book-show was opened. The first Internatio-
nal book-show hold in Leipzig four years ago,
inspired the “Assocafion nationale du livre
d’art frangais” to issue the invitation for fhe
actual “Salon international du livre d’art“.
Following exhibitions of this sort are already
planned for Florence, London and Leipzig.
Much love of the matter
and exellent taste
succeeded in gathering
very attraefive mate-
rial, among others for
the charming special
show of ch-ildren’s
books, as well as for
the refrospective divi-
sion, a full appreciation
of Sfeinlen’s and: Ma-
rins Michel’s, the book-
binder’s fruitful work.
A historical show of
book bindings, con-
faining bindings from
the 16th to the 19fh Cen-
tury, deserves largely
to be mentioned. The
fine French book is
mainly the illustrated
book; etchings, latho—
graphies and especially
woodcuts are the im-
portant factors of fhe
edition de luxe. There
is hardly a division of
work, the artist, Printer,
offen even the author
being one person.
Modern art enlers
very largely and rules
even more over fhe
binding than over fhe
somehow more modest
and silent inferior of
fhe book which con-
ceals the exploding
femperament exposed
in the extraordinarily
coloury,lively covermgs
with silver or golden
Ornaments. Youfh and
progress are undeniably
leading, withouf sup-
pressing nice objects
of yesterday though.
The German division
is very nicely presenfed
owing considerably to
Prof. Steiner-Prag, so
that the German ar-
tistic book was very
well judged by every-
body. Let us mention
there the special show
of exlibris and the
beautiful bookbindings
of Prof. Ignatz Wieme-
ler, Leipzig.
Besides France and
Germanyeighteen coun-
tries had a share at fhe exhibition. Every-
where conservative and modern elements are
about equal. Few counfries, as for instance
Spain and Italy laid more stress on the tradi-
iions of yesterday. Tchecho-Slovakia shows
excellent technic of fypography. The Polish
kiosk is very impressing, very rieh and varied,
having as inspirator Mr. Jacques Mostkowicz,
who had published a book: Le livre d’art en
Pologne 1900—1930, which countains many
coloured reproduefions. Populär art in Po-
land proves of a strong sense of style and
a good knowledge of modern technic.
Hungaria, according to Hungarian Charakter,
shows much movement and bright colours in
book bindings, which are executed by very
capable arfists.
Belgium produces in a pronounced indi-
vidual taste and has a preferance for the
individually written book.
The Sowjet stand is extremely interesfing
very striking in its constructivistic arrangement
and the stränge pell-mell of picture and texte,
which is principally agitating. Austria accepts
a certain modern vivacify.
Holland inclines more to the fraditional
side, as well as the northern countries. Eng-
land likes the French faste. The few examples
from North America speak favorably for a
cultivated artistic book there.
On the whole the show is most informa-
tory, and extremely interesfing, giving an opti-
mistic Outlook for the Standard, of the artistic
book, which is well living in spite of many
economical difficulties.
