Noble thanks for posting this interesting link which points a fundamental problem that few on this forum I suspect will want to acknowledge.that is the strong attachement/nostalgia that many Italians have for Facism and Mussolini in particular.

The promotion and populisation of Mussolini and fascism is not regarded as being taboo in the way that it is ( righlt so I believe) in Germany.

We were pretty surprised to come across a tiny shop in Lettomanoppello stuffed full of Fascist ojects including posters,uniforms badges etc.We did ask some locals about it but they seemed to want to shrug it off by saying that the owner was mad and that it was a museum rather than a shop.
