Well, technically, -yes-, Mussolini* died in the 1940s… but it wasn’t exactly from natural causes in 1948 or anything….
*note that Atlas Obscura misspells Mussolini
- borroka 4y agoWhat about Filoppo instead of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti? I am puzzled by the lack of rigor commonly observed in English writing when it comes to non-English names or non-English words more generally. I am reading the book "Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling" about Michelangelo's painting of the Sistine Chapel, and 50% of the Italian words or phrases have errors. What are the editors for? PS, Mussolini died in 1945, not technically. Technically, or to be precise, he was killed by a group of partigiani.
