Eighty years after Mussolini's execution, nostalgia for fascism persists

On April 28, 1945, the dictator Benito Mussolini was executed by members of the Italian resistance, along with his mistress Clara Petacci. The next day, their bodies were dumped in a Milan square and subjected to mockery and abuse by the mob. Yet eighty years after the fall of the “Duce”, the legacy of fascism is no longer deplored in Italy, and even gives rise to nostalgia.
