Floodlights were directed on the legation, and the area encircled with barbed wire. A hundred steel-helmeted police armed with rifles and submachine guns covered the house. Finally, at dawn, with Stoffel's permission, the police broke into the legation grounds. Following...

When Mussolini came to power, Croce retired to Naples, where he waited out the course of Fascism, constantly badgered Mussolini in his magazine La Critica. Il Duce never dared molest "Don Benedetto" (although mention of his name and works were banned from the press) because, as he once remarked: "There is one man in all Italy whom I fear-Croce, and I fear him because I do not understand...
