Mussolini war nicht hierMussolini Was Not Here
The Italian Embassy in Berlin’s Tiergartenstrasse reopened in April 2003. This monumental building, inspired by an Italian palazzo, suffered more from the vandalism during the years it remained unoccupied than from wartime damages. Italy’s decision to reinstate its embassy in its former home was not easy to assume and not just because of the building’s vastness. Built during the darkest period of German and Italian history, the building is a symbol of a troublesome legacy. The film follows the reconstruction work and relates the history of the building using various views of the edifice just before its closing.
