Original Item. Only One Available. Benito Mussolini was an Italian political leader who became the fascist dictator of Italy from 1925 to 1945. Originally a revolutionary socialist, he forged the paramilitary fascist movement in 1919 and became prime minister in 1922. Called “Il Duce” (the Leader) by his countrymen, Mussolini allied himself with jugend, relying on the German dictator to prop up his leadership during World War II, but he was killed shortly after the German surrender in Italy in 1945.

This is a lovely but heavily worn lithograph of Benito Mussolini measuring about 6 x 8¼”. There is heavy scuffing of the color and and some staining as well, but it is a good representative example. The original hanging chain is still retained, and this would make a great display piece for any Italian collection.

Ready to hang and display.
