My grandpa fought for Italy's liberation. He was part of a mortar squad with the Brazilian Army. I have recently found, among his things, a Mussolini's bust.
Luckily, my grandpa is alive, at 103 years old. He told me that he found the bust hanging on the wall of an abandoned house, in a very small city during the campaign. He could not remember the name of the city.
