Casa Natale Mussolini
Wednesday, June 7th, 2006
Casa Natale Mussolini was a simple rural building where the Mussolini family lived in for a few years. The commune of Predappio restored it to host exhibitions. Florestano Di Fausto designed the square in front of the house with grand steps up to it but Mussolini had them demolished. A copper bust in the attic is the only fascist mark left here.
