Italian bus message praises WWII fascist leader Benito Mussolini

"A photograph of a Rome bus with the display praising fascist leader Benito Mussolini was sparking a public outcry in Italy on Monday.

The image, posted on an Italian blog Sunday, showed a public ATAC bus with the words "Onore al Duce" -- "Honor to Il Duce," as Mussolini was known -- on the electronic display instead of the normal destination."

'Il Corpo Del Duce' Documentary Traces Mussolini's Corpse On Its Path

"A new documentary about Benito Mussolini examines the near cult-like fascination that many Italians had with the fascist dictator – and how his body became a focus for the fixation.

"Il Corpo Del Duce," ("The Duce's Corpse"), contains some gruesome, never-before-seen images of Mussolini's decayed corpse hanging upside down in a Milan square on April 29, 1945 after he was shot by anti-fascist partisans.

The film, directed by Fabrizio Laurenti, literally follows the path of Mussolini's corpse from a gas station on the square to an anonymous grave and eventually a tomb in Predappio, his birthplace in northern Italy, where thousands of supporters pay homage every year."

Why is unity so important to Europe?

"Europe's leaders are battling to keep the eurozone and the wider European Union together in the face of a financial crisis that threatens to split partnerships forged over more than half a century.

So why are they putting so much effort into preserving unity? And can they prevent today's debts and differences from dividing the continent for decades to come?

The answer lies in Europe's history: The continent has historically been split by long-running conflicts that pitted neighboring countries against each other."
