Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini

 

 

Il Duce  was the center of Fascism and portrayed as such. The cult of the Duce  was in many respects the unifying force of the fascist regime, acting as a common denominator of various political groups and social classes in the fascist party and the Italian society. This leadership cult helped reconcile Italians with the regime despite annoyance with local officials.  A basic slogan proclaimed that Mussolini was always right ( Il Duce ha sempre ragione).
