In Italy an online was created Map in which the attempt is made to record all the monuments that come from his period Fascismwhether they are street names, or statues and inscriptions.
In particular, after the Second World War, the Germans systematically attempted to eliminate any sign of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime. However, Italians have taken a much more relaxed approach to the vestiges of Mussolini’s 21-year dictatorship.
Website “Places of Fascism» (www.luoghifascismo.it) was presented today by the Ferruccio Pari Institute, based in Milan, after four years of research. It lists famous landmarks, such as the obelisk in Rome with the inscription “Mussolini Duce”.
“It’s a partial inventory… We know very well that it’s not finished, it’s a work in progress“, he told the Reuters agency Igor Pichirusso, researcher-historian and administrator of the website. He announced that the content will be enriched with the contribution of readers, clarifying that a process of verification by experts will be followed. The 12 proposals for additions that were sent to the website administrator following a relevant publication in the newspaper La Repubblica are indicative of the warm reception that “Places of Fascism” received.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was a Mussolini admirer in her teenage years. Last August he made it clear that the Italian right has placed fascism in the closet of history for decades.
The governing coalition led by Meloni has however chosen for the presidency of the Senate Ignazio Benito Maria La Russa, a collector of Mussolini relics, who in 2020 declared that the Nazi salute was more appropriate than a handshake under social distancing rules for the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.
