Mussolini Cult
Mussolini worship is alive and well in Italy
Mussolini still inspires both reverence and revulsion 50 years on. The town of his birthplace has capitalised on his cult-like following.
Every year, thousands of Mussolini fans gather in Predappio to celebrate the anniversary of his march on Rome. For many he has become an ideological figure, credited with bringing Italy into the modern age. The record of atrocities committed under his rule is conveniently ignored.
