Didn't they have some significant input back in 2008, when they gave Lenihan some wonderful financial advice.

Benito Mussolini the founder of Fascio di Combattimento the original fascist party which Hitler found inspiration from.

He is credited with developing Italy from a backward kip into a modern country, the draining of the Pointaine Marshes the building of the Autostrada etc. He didn't share Hitlers crazy anti semitism, he refused to open concentration camps and many Jews fled to Italy at that time. High ranking members of his party were also Jewish. He's more popular in Italy now than he ever was, and not just among Lazio supporters, polls indicate that Italians would consider returning to this form of rule.

Italians however not to stereotype are emotional lunatics and often pine for the past.:pac:

Italy in modern history have been a disaster when it comes to war, their messing in Greece and Yugoslavia delayed Germany's Operation Barbarossa by 3 months which in the end proved fatal to it's success with the Russian winter closing in. The joke still goes today that Italian tanks have 3 reverse gears.

Where he is fondly remembered is in his domestic policies, life in Italy did improve under him. For instance he dismantled the Sicilian Mafia, driving it over seas in the process

Miss Twenty Major, my vote would go to Enver Hoxha, mad Albanian dictator.

He liked bunkers and built mad little conrete bunkers, the chap who designed them was asked if they were fit for purpose and after replying yes was told to stand in the bunker whilst an Albanian tank showered it with shells, he lived.

To be fair to the Italians, they fought well in the First World War.

That's not good enough, we're looking for a real dictatorship, a one party state where we learn from the mistakes of history and maybe make it work for longer this time. A thousand year empire with me and my politburo making Ireland glorious.;)

I wouldn't say he succeeded in dismantling the Sicilian mafia, who were effectively a fifth column for the American invasion of the island. The Sicilian mafia were just as powerful after Il Duce as before, if not more so.

They regained momentum in the time after his death, American gangsters like Lucky Luciano returned to the country in the aftermath. The surviving mobsters supported the invasion because they knew they could get their power and influence back both in Sicily and on the mainland.

His wife is smoking hot, I saw pictures of them online recently. Apparently she's a film star in N.K, whatever that means.
