There must also be a reason, only one, capable of explaining why the further we move away from fascism in time, the more curiosity grows around its founder, Benito Mussolini. Yet the seven decades and more that have passed since the end of the regime and the lost war have all been marked by the demonization of Duce and his damnation of memory. Evidently, something must have gone wrong if, despite the weather, even abroad today there are those - this is the case of the British Guardian -, in an article («Gifts for fascist friends») inspired by boom of sales of Mussolini's calendars, wonders about the growing interest of Italians towards the Duce.
«Nostalgic factions have long contributed to keeping Mussolini's spirit alive – the British newspaper writes not without acrimony – but the flourishing populism of right is further demolishing taboos". The Guardian, needless to say, he throws it into politics and reviews Italian current affairs starting (Obviously) and Matteo Salvini. «Sometimes he quotes Mussolini – we read -, while the supporters of League they participated in demonstrations with images of the dictator next to Salvini's name. Marches organized by neo-fascist groups such as Forza Nuova e Casapound have become a normal occurrence".
The newspaper: «The Duce evokes order and achievements»
According to the newspaper, one of the reasons why the Duce's spirit continues to "hover" is because "some Italians consider him the last"strong man“», who not only restored "law and order", but that «he built better houses, streets, transportation systems and schools, also investing in industry". Which is like saying that Italians no longer believe the lies told in recent years. The point is precisely this: in many there is an ongoing crisis of rejection towards the official vulgates even today one use to one establishment institutional, political and cultural that with the fascism and Mussolini never wanted or knew how to seriously settle accounts from the point of view of historical truth. When that's the case, it is inevitable that in the end the dead will take revenge by grabbing the living. And it is no longer clear who is dead and who is alive.
