BZ 18

This dense but visually seductive new museum explores Bolzano's turbulent interwar years via the history of the Fascist Monument to Victory, where it is sited. It's a thoughtful and overdue examination of a highly complex time in the city's past and covers the city's post-WWI handover to Italy and the later Nazi occupation. The displays about the radical urban transformation of the 1920s – part of Mussolini's 'Italianisation' project – are particularly fascinating.
