PHOTOS: LELE SAVERI TEXTE: RÉDACTION VICE ITALIE




Voici la tombe de Mussolini. Le cerveau du Duce se trouve dans la petite boîte en marbre sur la gauche. Les forces alliées ont emporté son cerveau aux USA pour voir s’il n’était pas malformé. On l’a rendu des années plus tard à sa famille avec un certificat qui disait que Mussolini «était plus intelligent que la moyenne». C’est pas une blague.






On a réussi à convaincre le gardien de nous laisser entrer dans la Villa Carpena, la résidence secondaire de la famille Mussolini. Le jardin avait tout du typique petit jardin normal d’une villa de taille normale appartenant à une famille normale. Dans la lumière du matin, tout paraissait tellement calme et paisible que les pieds de table en forme de haches et les bustes du grand homme ne nous ont même pas choqués. Puis on s’est rendu compte de l’énormité de la chose et on s’est dit : «Ces gens sont dingues.»”



Chaque année, la famille Mussolini organise une petite soirée pour les meilleurs fascistes italiens. Pour son anniversaire, environ cinquante personnes se réunissent pour manger et boire en son honneur. Puis, ils regardent des vidéos de ses discours sur cette télé.



Le hall d’entrée de la maison de Mussolini. Le gardien nous a laissé entrer après qu’on lui a promis de ne pas prendre de photos. Il était sourd de l’oreille gauche alors tant qu’on se tenait du bon côté, il n’entendait pas le «clic» de l’appareil photo. Ces deux portraits dorés représentent les parents de Mussolini. Au milieu, le «fascio» original, celui qui a inspiré toute l’iconographie et les symboles fascistes.



La chambre de Benito qu’il partageait avec sa femme Rachel. L’uniforme sur le lit a été racheté par son fils dans une vente aux enchères aux États-Unis. Depuis qu’on l’a ramené des USA, on peut deviner un vague profil de Mussolini dans le miroir devant ce lit. On l’a vu de nos yeux, c’est hyper flippant.



À la fin de notre séjour, la plupart des Prédappians étaient sûrs à 100% qu’on était fascistes. Ils nous faisaient tous le salut. Ce mec vit à 40 km de Predappio et c’est un alcoolique. Tous les jours, il prend sa bicyclette et se rend jusqu’à la tombe de Mussolini pour prier. Il nous aimait bien alors il nous a suivis jusqu’à la sortie du village et nous a fait le salut romain avec les larmes aux yeux. Super, Angelo, à la prochaine. Cassons-nous vite fait.

Che bello il Belpaese. A Predappio vive un sacco di gente perbene. Ma davvero, uno che ha svenduto il Paese a Hitler, che ha cacato sulla dignità nazionale, un mediocre ciarlatano non poteva che essere figlio di Predappio e della "Grande Proletaria"*.

*"Italia" secondo la definizione dello stesso Duce.

the Italian people are not "fucking morons" and in face without our contributions to the modern western world there would be no civilization as we know it today! Long Live Mussolinni! God Bless Italia!

the italian fascist movement actually took their name from the italian word fascio, wich means force, league or group and was originally used by radical leftist movements in italy, such as the Fasci d'Azione rivoluzionaria internazionalista.

benito mussolini later brought together alot of nationalist fasci and formed Fasci italiani di combattimento(the league of combat) wich later evolved into the national fascist party.

this is why we wade through whole issues of filler right here. as long as they occasionally spit out prizes like this, i'll still play vice for the cranky one-armed bandit that it is.

Could VICE please make research and even a cursory knowledge of the subject a prerequisite for writing an article? The fasces is an ancient Roman symbol of authority- making it unlikely that the "original" fascio you saw is the inspiration for all fascist iconography. Have a look at the chair arms on the Lincoln Memorial. This is seriously half-assed.
