...have no particularly large sense of values." Pound soon began to date his letters Fascist style, according to the March on Rome in 1922. But it was not until seven years later, in 1932, that the poet tried to get in contact with Mussolini. He finally saw II Duce in 1933 in a private interview. It is a measure of Pound's tremendous ego and equally enormous naivete that he interpreted Mussolini's remark about A Draft of XXX Cantos("divertente"--entertaining) as signifying that the dictator was a genius...because he recognized genius...
...have laid bricks all my life. But where is my house?" The question doesn't need to be answered; the worker is one of Fellini's eccentrics, tolerated in a good-natured way but not respected. Aurelio's wife locks him inside the house on the day II Duce comes to speak so he can't walk about in his "socialist necktie."

Wertmuller is certainly in her element as she manipulates these images. But somehow the caricature, adept as it is, seems gratuitous. A brute is a brute, and this stereotyping does little to amplify Tunin's personal hatred of Mussolini...
...idea of a "third position" probably reflected Perón's strong sympathy for Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, two governments that saw themselves as a "third way" between Communism and capitalism. After experiencing Mussolini's regime in the early 1940s?he observed Italian Alpine ski troops?Peron called il Duce "the greatest man of our century." He later turned Argentina into a haven for suspected war criminals...
