Parade of black shirts in Predappio , the Forlivese town where Benito Mussolini was born and where he is buried, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the March on Rome .
Dozens of nostalgic for fascism, who arrived from all over Italy, gathered in Piazza Sant'Antonio to reach in procession, organized by the president of the Arditi di Ravenna Mirco Santarelli, the cemetery of San Cassiano, where the crypt of the Duce has been located since 1957.
There is no shortage of shops, three to be precise, that overflow with gadgets: discounts for sweatshirts with the words "Executioner who gives up", 9 euros one, 15 euros two, 20 euros for the "March on Rome" sweatshirt. duce of all kinds, imperial eagles, and even a T-shirt with the face of the former Lazio captain Paolo Di Canio and the words “Italian pride”.
Not only adults with black shirts, even children dressed in black, with fez on their heads , followed the procession with their parents in Predappio. The cry "for his excellence Benito Mussolini" was heard three times, with the response of the comrades.
"Camerata Benito Mussolini!", "Present!" they shouted three times when the procession came to an end, in front of the cemetery of Predappio. The greetings and thanks to those present, about two thousand, this year came directly from Orsola Mussolini, great-grandson of the Duce: "We expected many people but not so - says Orsola Mussolini - they came from different parts of Italy and even from abroad. There are also Spaniards, from the phalanx, with Spain, Franco, there has always been a great relationship ".
From the stage set up on the stairs of the cemetery, Mirco Santarelli degli Arditi asked to put a hand on his heart instead of making the Roman salute to commemorate Il Duce, in order not to risk a denunciation of apologia for fascism . Not very useful suggestion: many have raised their arms waiting to enter the crypt.
