Casa del Fascio
Once a Fascist party building and welcoming centre for pilgrims, the Casa del Fascio was a new type of building “invented” by the Fascist regime. These monumental Fascist buildings, with the typical modern and virile tower, were supposed to represent the power of the regime, also for future generations. Given the unique situation of the town of Predappio as a pilgrimage site, the huge Casa del Fascio fulfilled another important role: a sort of welcoming centre for the numerous visitors, featuring recreational rooms, a “tourist office”, a bar and restaurant as well as a daytime hotel.
