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

Wednesday 7th of April 1926 (x) — Leader of the Italian National Fascist Party Benito Mussolini is hit in the nose by a bullet fired by Violet Gibson in an attempt to kill him.
Mussolini was wounded only slightly, dismissing his injury as "a mere trifle" and after his nose was bandaged he continued his parade on the Capitoline. It has been theorised that Gibson was insane at the time of the attack and the idea of assassinating Mussolini was hers and that she worked alone.
