Bombastic Italian dictator, known as 'Il Duce.' Mussolini styled himself in the mold of Roman emperors and had ambitions to match. In the end, he met with the same bloody fate as some of his ancient predecessors, captured and killed by Italian partisans and hung upside down from the girder of a filling station. Vintage matte-finish 8 x 11.5 photo of an intent looking young Mussolini in a jacket and tie, signed and inscribed in the lower border, in Italian, in fountain pen to Raffaele Martnelli, signed 'Mussolini' and dated 'Roma 14 Maizo 1933.' In fine condition, with a government stamp to lower right area of image and some light border soiling. COA John Reznikoff/University Archives and RRAuction COA.
