The concept of romanità (Romanness) is used as a framework for exploring the modes of spectatorship elicited by the floor mosaics from the Foro Mussolini’s Piazzale dell’Impero, a space designed by Luigi Moretti and inaugurated in 1937. While the piazzale’s floor mosaics clearly evoked the formal features of ancient Roman pavements, they also resulted in a kinesthetic viewing experience that recalled such precedents. What made this viewing experience ideologically productive was the particular way Moretti used the mosaics to move spectators, both physically and affectively, in hopes of heightening their sense of engagement with Fascist Italy’s pursuit of empire.

地面马赛克，浪漫主义和观赏性：墨索里尼论坛的戴尔因佩罗广场

romanità（罗马式）的概念被用作探索观众模式的框架，该模式由墨索里尼广场（Foro Mussolini）的Piazzale dell'Impero地板马赛克引发，该空间由路易吉·莫雷蒂（Luigi Moretti）设计并于1937年投入使用。作为古罗马人行道的形式特征，它们还带来了动感的观看体验，使人们回想起了这样的先例。使这种观看体验在意识形态上富有成效的是莫雷蒂（Moretti）利用马赛克在物理上和情感上移动观众的特殊方式，希望增强他们对法西斯意大利对帝国的追求的参与感。
