A the associated press members of an italian Neo fascist group Salute Benito Mussolini s burial site in  fathers restoring Mussolini a Hometown by Mary Beth Sheridan the associated press Benito Mussolini s Hometown spent decades trying to hide the fact. It was t easy because the dictator filled pre Dappio Italy with those brooding Stone buildings so dear to his fascist heart no tour buses were allowed into the Village in the rolling Vineyard country of North Central Italy. Shops were forbidden to sell postcards depicting ii Duce. Communist and socialist admin ministrations governed pre Dappio each trying to be More disdainful of the famous native son than its predecessor. Then a funny thing happened on the Way to the 1990s. Quot politics have changed Quot said mayor Ivo Marcelli of the democratic party of the left which was the communist party until 1991. Quot you can t maintain that sense of hatred  the Village fathers Are now planning a major restoration of the town Mussolini made a Monument to his 21 years in Power. The dictator has become a resource like the Region s famed egg pasta and Sangio vese grapes. Some italians describe pre Dappio s Case As the Story in microcosm of How the entire nation is re evaluating its fascist past Quot it s not news any More it s history Quot said Antonio Spinosa author of several books on the fascist period 1922 to 1943. Quot no one is afraid of Mussolini any  pre Dappio plans to restore Mussolini s childhood Home his summer residence and a former fascist party Headquarters. They Are to become museums and study centers on dictatorship. Fils Benito Mussolini left and Adolf Hitler in a meeting in Germany during the 1930s. The project has gained remarkably Broad support. Six deputies ranging from Neo fascists to leftists asked parliament for $10 million to help pay for it. Restoration work has begun on the family Home financed by a Grant from the regional government. Quot we re not trying to hark Back to the past Quot the 40-year-old mayor said. Quot we just want to conserve and utilize buildings that Are there and should be used  Marcelli concedes the project would not have been possible a few years ago. In the 1970s, when terrorism from both the right and left plagued Italy pre Dappio a town of 6,000 made headlines because of fierce clashes Between supporters and opponents of fascism. Some say the end of the cold War helped bring the change. Giorgio Bocca a columnist and author notes that the postwar communist grip on italian culture has faded like the party. Quot there was a demonization of fascism of All that was fascist Quot said Bocca an anti fascist. He added referring to Mussolini Quot there is not exactly a rethinking but a More fair evaluation of the  tourism to pre Dappio has increased dramatically whatever the reason. Last year about 100,000 people visited Mussolini s Stone Tomb which is topped by a huge White bust of ii Duce. Most were italians but thousands of germans austrians dutch and others visited while vacationing on the nearby Adriatic coast. What irritates the mayor is that most of the tourists Stop in the town Only briefly. Marcelli Hopes hotels and restaurants will Spring up among the Bulky legacies of the fascist Era. The restoration project appears popular locally. Merchants Are Selling Mussolini ashtrays tiny Jackboot key chains and other souvenirs. In an apparent bid to capitalize on such sentiment Mussolini s 29-year-old granddaughter Alessandra recently won a seat in parliament on the Neo fascist ticket. Marcelli acknowledges the restoration May be criticized by people who fear nostalgia for fascism but he promised it will not glorify the dictator. Attacks on immigrants by right Wing vigilantes Are prompting concern in Italy about the Rise of Neo fascism. Also several prominent entertainers and politicians have caused an outcry by describing the fascist period As pleasant or less corrupt than the present. Italians have coined a sardonic phrase to sum up the nostalgia Quot we were better off when we were worse  april 23, 1992 stripes Magazine 9
