Two Italian historians warn planned Sironi museum risks sanitising fascist past

Art historians Tomaso Montanari and Fabio Benzi warn that the planned state-run Museo Mario Sironi in Rome risks sanitising Italy's fascist past. Press materials do not mention fascism or Mussolini. The museum is planned to open in the first half of 2027 inside a fascist-era war veterans' building. Montanari said its educational material must state it does not endorse fascism.
