Predappio, 3 thousand in procession on the anniversary of the march on Rome. Arms outstretched and hymn to the Duce

I'm about three thousand the people who gathered on Sunday Predappio for the event organized by the Arditi of Italy on the occasion of 97th anniversary of the march on Rome that October 28, 1922 brought fascism to power. A dozen large coaches arrived mainly from Veneto, Lombardy, Tuscany, Lazio and Emilia-Romagna.

The procession, opened by a maxi tricolor of about ten meters carried on the arm, started from the square of the church of Sant’Antonio and traveled a kilometer and a half to reach the cemetery of San Cassiano where the crypt of Benito Mussolini which the country of the Forlì Apennines gave birth to. "We are not the embalmers of the past but the anticipators of the future", says one of the many signs that have marched. Upon arrival at the cemetery, as well as readings and silence observed, Roman greetings were also raised. In front of the crypt, now open all day, a long queue of nostalgics has formed since the early hours of the morning. In town, there are some souvenir shops where gadgets with references to fascism stand out, from the Duce's busts to themed t-shirts.
