MASCALUCIA
- Catania -

This page, dedicated to the Fascist architecture of Catania , is here thanks to the information and research of a friend: VINCENZO PERINO.

MASCALUCIA, Via Etnea
The marble plaque that commemorates the economic siege that the League of Nations placed on Italy for its conquest of the Empire.
 November 18th 1935-XIV
“In memory of the economic siege; that it may remain documented in the centuries to come, this enormous injustice against Italy , who is responsible for bestowing civilization upon all continents.”
Fasces are present on the sides of the plaque, which was posted in all the town squares and in all of the Municipal offices; today, however, very few remain.
