Italy marks 100 years since the dictator Benito Mussolini grabbed power in Rome this week. The city has yet to shake off his fascist legacy as monuments glorifying Mussolini's command dot around Rome
While Germany systematically scrubbed clean any symbols of Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime after World War Two, Italians took a much less rigorous approach to removing traces of their dictator's 21-year rule.
"Germany has a past that can never pass. They can never forget the Holocaust or Hitler," said British historian Paul Corner, who last month published a book, "Mussolini in Myth and Memory", that delves into Italy's persistent nostalgia for fascism. The country this week marks 100 years since Mussolini's blackshirt supporters' marched on Rome to seize power. To avoid bloodshed, the king simply handed him government.
When Allied forces took charge in 1944, many photographs and symbols glorifying "Il Duce" were removed. But some larger monuments were left untouched.
