"Mussolini town" Predappio Alta by wodensson


Predappio Alta Travel Guide: 1 reviews and 0 photos

Predappio is the home town of Il Duce, Benito Mussolini, and there is no way you are not going to discover this on your trip there.
The small high street is bedecked with shops selling various fascist and Il Duce related memoribillia. You can get anything from busts of his head to bottles of wine with his picture on them. At the top of the town is the cemetary where he is laid to rest in his tomb. A 24 hour guard looks over the crypt, but so long as you are courtous they dont mind you going in.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Something you are not likely to see elsewhere
  • Cons:You end up buying so much stuff from the souvenir shops your bag weighs a ton
  • In a nutshell:The Italians do not hate mussolini as we are lead to believe
