The Body of Il Duce

Mussolini's Corpse and the Fortunes of Italy

Sergio Luzzatto

A historian explores the enduring legacy of Italian Fascism through the journey of Mussolini's body, from his rise to power to his execution and beyond. In this groundbreaking work, the author demonstrates how a ruler's body can come to symbolize a nation in a totalitarian state. The Body of Il Duce is an elegantly written, compelling history of Italy's struggle to break free from the grip of Fascism.
