Ephemeral architecture was the antithesis of the permanent buildings typical of the ‘Fascism of stone’, and yet many architects took advantage of this paradox to create an imaginary Rome. A widespread use of ephemeral structures was made around 1938, during the Mostra Augustea della Romanità and Hitler's state visit to Italy, in order to support a political programme that marked the totalitarian turn in the Fascist regime after the foundation of the empire and aimed at strengthening the alliance between Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. Relying on methodologies of particular relevance to Roman art history and on various sources unknown to date, this paper investigates the relationships between ephemeral architecture and romanità. The case study is a monumental tribune built in via dei Trionfi that inevitably suffered a damnatio memoriae: a combination of classicizing and futuristic decorations, it looked back at ancient Rome and, at the same time, highlighted the Fascist regime's aspirations to might and modernity.

法西斯时代的短暂建筑和罗马尼特：罗马的希特勒和墨索里尼皇家论坛

短暂的建筑是典型的“石头法西斯主义”永久性建筑的对立面，但许多建筑师利用这个悖论创造了一个想象中的罗马。1938 年左右，在罗马罗马尼塔和希特勒对意大利进行国事访问期间，广泛使用了临时结构，以支持一项政治计划，该计划标志着法西斯政权在帝国建立后转向极权主义，旨在加强法西斯意大利和纳粹德国的联盟。依靠与罗马艺术史特别相关的方法和迄今为止未知的各种来源，本文研究了短暂建筑与浪漫主义. 案例研究是通过 dei Trionfi 建造的纪念性论坛，不可避免地遭受了该死的记忆：古典与未来主义装饰的结合，它回顾了古罗马，同时突出了法西斯政权对权力和现代性的渴望。
