+: «Pleasantly described in Labbé's report is an expansive interior garden, with four great fountains, a powerful evocation of the Mediterranean. Mention is als made of a nearby portico whose walls were covered with murals in praise of the Fascist regime by the Jewish artist and Fascist supporter corrado Cagli. Tellingly, Labbé's account fails to mention that, with the rising anti-Semitism of the Fascist regime in this period, Cagli's murals were destroyed on orders of the Italian foreign minister.» (Kargon et al. 2015, p. 24)
