LarsThe town hall of Sabaudia. The name Sabaudia recalls the Piedmontese ruling house of the Savoys, from which Italian kings have descended since 1861. In 1922, King Vittorio Emanuele III proved to be a helpful stooge for Italian fascism. As a result, the head of state supported the transformation of Italy into a dictatorship with royal decrees and political abstinence. After the proclamation of the Impero, he was rewarded with the title of Emperor of Abyssinia and later also King of Albania. Only after the Allies had landed in Sicily did Vittorio Emanuele turn his back on Mussolini. But by then the reputation of the monarchy and the Sabauda family had already been so ruined that after the end of the Second World War, abdication and exile were the only options. In Italy, the view of the former royal family is very controversial. But in Sabaudia, surprisingly, almost the entire dynasty from the Middle Ages to recent history is honored with street names. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architekturfotografie?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#architekturfotografie</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architektur?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#architektur</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architecturephotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#architecturephotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/modernarchitecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#modernarchitecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bnw?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bnw</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/urban?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#urban</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/urbanism?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#urbanism</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/urbanphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#urbanphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/midcentury?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#midcentury</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/30s?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#30s</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/functionalism?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#functionalism</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/rationalism?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rationalism</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/italy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#italy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/lazio?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lazio</a>
