Anyone got any fun facts about Mussolini? I’ve got an exam tomorrow and this seems like a sub that would know some things

  1. The spot his body was hung at is now a McDonalds and a Kebab shop.

  2. He was an Anti-church socialist before becoming a pro-church fascist.

  6. He was a serial rapist. There are letters where he brags how he “took” young girls. There are several articles about it online.

  7. The painful and humiliating way he died was what prompted Hitler to kill himself and get his goons to burn his body so his remains could not be paraded.

  8. “Race? It is a feeling, not a reality: ninety-five percent, at least, is a feeling. Nothing will ever make me believe that biologically pure races can be shown to exist today” – Mussolini

  9. His dick was cut off and it’s now stored in the vatican archives. ( along with some other famous dicks )

  10. The reason sicily is so dry is because it used to be a swamp-like wet soil and mussolini thought it was a good idea to plant eucalyptus to combat the wetness in order to create farmland and to combat malaria. Today it is way to dry for a lot of crops to grow and the eucalyptus is too hard to eliminate.

  12. He was born in Romagna, when he took power he moved the border between Romagna and Tuscany (until that moment following the natural watershed) to have the springs of the Tevere (the River flowing in Rome), formerly in Tuscany fall into not just inside his birthplace region’s border, but within the province itself. He wanted to figuratively allude to the fact that he somehow descended the river just like Romolo and Remo did in the legendary foundation of Rome.

  13. The 4th person in line to spit on his hanging body was grandmother to Joey Tribbiani

  14. I love his little sailor boy outfit he wore to that wheat harvest publicity stunt

    He could have been a gay icon but he chose the naughty boy arc

  15. One of his offspring is currently a member of the EP. And one is a right back for Lazio Roma. Genealogy is neat!

  16. He (like Hitler and Franco) had only one testicle……fascist stuff I’d guess

  17. He had a cat named Tobia

    Some madlad wrote a biography of said cat called “la mia vita col puzzone” literally ‘my Life with the stinky’

  18. He’d leave the lights at his office on overnight to push his cult of personality and be perceived as a tireless workaholic fully devoted to the nation.

  21. He proclaimed himself protector of Islam to increase his popularity in Libya

  27. Yeah, he’s dead. Funnest fact we got about him.

    Close second is his personal diary, especially the notes on Hitler lmao

  29. He was played by Alexei Sayle in a documentary I watched…

  30. Mussolini, in order to promote Italian language and keep it alive and devoid of contaminations, promulgated a law according to which all movie pictures had to be dubbed in Italian, and using only Italian world. Even the names had to be italianized, often times with funny results (James=Giacomino).
    And that’s the reason why even to this day dubbing movies and TV shows is a strong and well practiced tradition with almost 1 century experience.

  32. He had very frequently sex with his female fans, that took appointments as he toured Italy. (its true)

  33. He was so stupidly fixated with ancient Rome that he moved the emilia-romagna border to encompass the tevere springs, inflating the province where he was born to connect himself to Rome. Predappio is like 400 km from Rome.

  34. he tried to flee to Switzerland twice: the first time in order to avoid conscription during WWI and the second one was when the Partisans captured him while pretending to be a german soldier. he was killed short after.

    the same person who said “se avanzo seguitemi, se arretro uccidetemi” (*If I advance; follow me. If I retreat; kill me*).

  36. Apparently after WW2 Churchill’s Daughter was dating a quite pompous man, which Churchill hated,

    During a dinner with a lot of important people the son-in-law asked Churchill who was his favorite figure from WW2,

    To which Churchill said Mussolini,

    *Obvious Allied Music Stops Moment*

    When asked why, Churchill then said “He had his son-in-law assassinated”

    More Mussolini centered, but he was so stupid that he reduced the number of soldiers per battalion from 30 to 20, (this let him say that Fascism had 50% more battalion) which he then forgot he had done.

    When WW2 Started it caused such confusion because the number of soldiers was always misscalculated,

    I’m writing all this by memory so feel free to fact check me

  37. Mussolini was famously forgetful when it came to shaking his penis after urinating. He was often seen with a wet patch on his trousers which he frequently blamed on unstable water pressure.

  40. He’s at his absolute best when swinging upside down

  42. After being arrested and subsequently saved from captivity by the Germans, Mussolini wanted to retire. Hitler had to force him to lead the newly established Italian Social Republic, threatening to destroy Milan, Genoa and Turin if he did not.
