"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet."

Benito Mussolini (1883 - 1945)

About Benito Mussolini

Benito Mussolini was an Italian politician and leader of the National Fascist Party. He ruled Italy as Prime Minister from 1922 until his ousting in 1943 and later served as the dictator of the Italian Social Republic from 1943 until his capture and execution in 1945. Mussolini founded fascism, a far-right political movement that employed violence and authoritarianism to forge national unity. His aggressive foreign policy led to Italy’s alliance with Nazi Germany and involvement in World War II, which ultimately resulted in his downfall.
