This face of Benito Mussolini draws and commands the attention of all who pass by. Few images can be so clearly representative of Big Brother, totalitarian control than a tremendous face appearing over a background of the word YES.
This is not the HQ of the Partito Nazionale Fascista, as often described. This building is Palazzo Braschi, a nineteenth century royal residence. It was utilized as the Ministry of Interior after Italy's unification
While researching this building, I came to realize there's very little commentary beyond the obvious – I was able to find a single explanation of the ‘Si Si Si’ background: that it was a demand from the fascists for the Italian citizenry to vote yes on the Second Plebicite (a direct referendum), which contained a list of candidates selected by Mussolini himself.
The whole facade was temporary, and was only installed for the"elections of 1934". Here's what it looked like in 1929
