Lonely Planet review for Palazzo delle Poste

Looking like a giant, graffitied UFO, Naples' main post office is a striking Fascist concoction. Product of an urban renewal programme that wiped out the San Giuseppe quarter, it was designed in 1935 by Giuseppe Vaccaro and features a number of Fascist architectural hallmarks: most notably its foreboding scale and black marble columns - a reference to the black armbands worn by Mussolini and his right-wing posse.

Predictably, the front steps are a popular rallying spot for young neofascists.
