The Fascist salute is given beside the plain wooden packing case containing the remains of Benito Mussolini, the former dictator of fascist Italy, in a private chapel at San Cassiano cemetery before burial in the family tomb. This weekend, his body was returned to his widow. The former Il Duce and his mistress, Clara Petacci, were hanged by partisans when escaping after his regime had collapsed during the Second World War.
