Mussolini in Myth and Memory argues against this rehabilitation.

È ciò che ha tentato anche l’Italia dalla stessa conquista dell’Unità (il Regno d’Italia nasce nel 1871, la prima impresa coloniale italiana è del 1882) fino alla sconfitta del fascismo.

When the war ended, they returned to a village so ravaged by the Nazis that, today, the town has less than 200 citizens and remains in a dilapidated state.
