"How then was this Fascism born... It was not only born in my mind and heart, in that meeting held in March 1919 in the little hall at Milan, it was born of the profound and perennial need of this our Mediterranean and Aryan race, which felt the essential foundations of its existence threatened by a tragic folly, which will crumble to pieces, today, upon the ground on which it was raised...

"We, Italians of the twentieth century, who have witnessed the great tragedy which has brought about the fulfilment of our nationality; we, who carry in the depths of our souls the memory of the dead, who are our religion; we, citizens of Italy, shall make one oath, one single resolution: that we only shall be the modest but persevering builders of her present and future fortunes.”

- Benito Mussolini, April 3rd, 1921


Happy Birthday to the Duce!


You can read Mussolini in his own words in three books of his speeches we have published:
- Il Duce Massimo
- Rise and Fight
- Voce del Popolo
