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

What is it Orson Welles says at the end of The Third Man? He talks about the blood-stained history of Italy and compares it to Switzerland. And what art did they ever produce? The cuckoo clock.
