Believe, obey, fight


One single heart, one single will, one single decision


A wall with the slogan "Mussolini is always right"



Electoral propaganda posters  at Palazzo Braschi, Mussolini´s political headquarters. The first image belongs to 1929 and the second one to 1934. The Fascist Party was the only allowed, but there were plebiscites to confirm Mussolini´s leadership from time to time.
