Location Execution Benito Mussolini

The cross points to the location where Benito Mussolini was shot by Italian partizans, together with his lover Clara Petacci. There were killed on 28 April 1945.

The place is a bit off the main road to Como and is not very well signposted. A few meters from the place of execution is a large sign indicating that on this spot the fascist dictator was executed by the Italian socialist and communist partisans. In this place you feel, as it were, the different ways in which the Mussolini era is looked back on.
