Italy is loaded with gorgeous fascist art deco architecture. Just as the Borgias and Medicis were monsters, so was Mussolini. But a lot of great buildings got put up in their time. (Unlike Hitler who had no taste whatsoever!)

"That is because you were taken in by that verdammte Allied propaganda! Such filthy lies! They told lies! But nobody ever said a bad word about Winston Churchill, did they? No! "Win with Winnie!" Churchill! With his cigars, with his brandy. And his ROTTEN painting! Rotten! Hitler, THERE was a painter! He could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon! TWO COATS!"

This style of architecture can be found in America as well.

A lot of Hitler's buildings were destroyed at the end of the war, especially if they had any Nazi symbolism in the architecture or facade.

Whether they were works of art regardless of any symbolism, I have know idea.

They've also got plenty of beautiful artworks from the Roman Empire, which was not exactly the height of human rights.
