ROME — Deep beneath the historic Villa Torlonia,where Benito Mussolini lived for nearly two decades, a wine cellar repurposed in 1941 as abunker to protect the Fascist leader was recently opened to the public. Even in a city stratifiedwith centuries of history, where archaeologists are digging up the remains of an ancient empire,the damp underground space is a telling sign of how deeply Italy’s relatively recent past canstay buried.
罗马——贝尼托·墨索里尼(Benito Mussolini)在著名的托洛尼亚别墅(Villa Torlonia)住了近20年。1941年,别墅地下深处的一个酒窖被改造成地堡,以保护这位法西斯首脑。前不久,地堡向公众开放。考古学家们仍在这座历史悠久的城市里挖掘古老帝国的遗迹,但是这个潮湿的地下空间显然表明,意大利的近代史仍被深深掩埋。
The opening of the bunker last fall was the latest step in the ongoing restoration of thesprawling villa compound, which the aristocratic Torlonia family rented to Mussolini and hisfamily from 1925 until his arrest in 1943. Inside what is now a popular park, the complex ofnine buildings erected between 1797 and 1920 also provides a unique window on the history oftaste — and the Torlonias’ ability to cozy up to whomever was in power, reaching back evenbefore the family’s bank, which was favored by the Vatican.
从1925年到1943年墨索里尼被捕,身为贵族的托洛尼亚家族把这座别墅租给了墨索里尼一家。如今,这个庞大的别墅在不断修复中。去年秋天,地堡被打开,那是修复工作的最新一步。别墅的庭院如今是一个著名的公园。1797年至1920年建起来的这九座建筑为我们提供了一个独特的窗口,得以一窥托洛尼亚家族的品味以及他们迎合所有当权者的能力,甚至可以追溯到这个家族的银行(它受到梵蒂冈的青睐)创建之前。
