Il 29 aprile 1945, partigiani e popolo di Milano si danno appuntamento in piazzale Loreto per celebrare la morte del duce. Appeso per i piedi, il cadavere di Mussolini appare un simbolo della Resistenza vittoriosa.
On April 29, 1945, partisans and citizens of Milan gathered in Piazzale Loreto to celebrate the death of the Duce. Mussolini's body, which was hanging by its feet, became a symbol of the victorious Resistance. But that mangled body, a true icon of the entire regime, also embodies the horror of civil war and is a story that is hard to hold up as a cornerstone of the foundation of the new Italy. The body was stolen by the neo-fascists in 1946 and was hidden by the Christian Democrats for eleven years, until - only in 1957 - it was buried at Predappio.
