Life in Predappio – Italy’s fascist Disneyland

Predappio in Italy's Emilia-Romagna region is the birthplace and burial site of former Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini. It’s also Italy’s premier neo-fascist tourist site, with hundreds of thousands of fascist sympathisers descending on the town annually. But what of the people who actually live there? What does “ordinary life” look like in the shadow of Mussolini’s grave?
