ROME. La Milizia universitaria ai goliardi del mondo 1938-XVI. 240 pp., illustrated throughout, with 12 additional plates on heavier paper (present only in the first 200 copies). Folio, 365 x 280 mm., publisher's full morocco. Milan: Italica editoriale, 1938.
Despite the overwhelming presence of Mussolini, this is one of the most stunning Italian interwar photobooks, with immense care taken with the design and layout. Although there is scattered foxing throughout, it does not detract from the overall stunning impression made by the book. There is a little wear to the fragile boards which are not strong enough to support such a heavy book. One of the extra deluxe copies, being No. 133 of 200 copies. OCLC lists only University of Siena, presumably a trade version.
Grillo, Il Libro Fotografico Italiano 1931-1941. pp. 190-191.
