BZ ’18-’45: One Monument, One City, Two Dictatorships is a public exhibition within the Monument to Victory in Bolzano, Italy, that illustrates the history of the monument erected by the Italian Fascist regime in 1928. This lecture by Jeffrey Schnapp, professor of romance literature and comparative literature at Harvard, recounts the tale of the monument and its reframing via BZ ’18-’45 as a work of critical contextualization. The exhibition is a commentary on the evolving social and political framework of the second half of the 20th century to the present day.
