Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

In the evening the bodies of Mussolini, his mistress Clara Petacci and other executed Fascists were loaded onto a van and trucked south to Milan. On arriving in the city in the early hours of 29 April, they were dumped on the ground in the Piazzale Loreto. The corpses were pelted with vegetables, spat at, urinated on, shot at and kicked. Mussolini's face was disfigured by beatings. After a while the bodies of Mussolini, Petacci and others were hoisted up on to the metal girder framework of a half-built Standard Oil service station, and hung upside down on meat hooks.
(28 April 1945)
