Image description

On Sunday, December 18, 1938, Benito Mussolini (right) inaugurated the new town of Carbonia in Sardinia from a balcony atop Torre Littoria. The town was built for the workers of the nearby coal mines, hence its name. Thousands of people listened from Piazza Roma to Mussolini's speech, which dealt with Italy's self-sufficiency, to which the "coal town" was to contribute. In the square, in addition to the Town Hall, there was the Teatro Centrale (right) and the Parish Church of St. Pontian (center of the picture and the steeple on the left).
