Description:
Referring to Benito Mussolini, this recording is part of a cult of the Fascist leader's personality and disseminates the myth surrounding him (Mussolinismo). The charismatic leader of Italian Fascism and the regime he embodied, Mussolini, nicknamed "Duce" (he who guides), was portrayed as a heroic man, father of the nation, superior in his capacity for work and far-sightedness. His imagination describes him as the "New Man", whose creation from the Italian people is the main objective of the work of regeneration that characterizes Fascist ideology. The manifestation of Italians' love for the Duce is a recurrent theme of propaganda, with the head of government virtually occupying the place of God in the political religion (mass rituals, Fascist faith) that is Fascism in power (see Alessandro Campi, "Mussolinismo", in Victoria De Grazia & Sergio Luzzatto (eds), Dizionario del fascismo. Vol. 2, L-Z, Milano, Arnoldo Mondadori Editore, 2019, p. 200-204).
