  • AFFILE, ITALY - 23 AUGUST 2012: A wreath was left on the tomb of fascist Marshall Rodolfo Graziani for the opening ceremony of the mausoleum dedicated to him in Affile, a town with a population of 1,600 80km east of Rome, on August 23, 2012. A mausoleum and park, dedicated to the memory of Fascist Field Marshall Rodolfo Graziani, has recently been opened in the Italian town of Affile. At a cost of €127,000 to local taxpayers, the mayor Ercole Viri has expressed hope that the site will become as ‘famous and as popular as Predappio’ – the burial place of Mussolini which has become a shrine to neo-Fascists. Rodolfo Graziani was the youngest colonel in the Regio Esercito (Royal Italian Army), known as the "Butcher of Fezzan" and the "Butcher of Ethiopia" for the brutal military campaigns and gas attacks he led in Libya and Ethiopia under the dictatorship of Benito Mussolini under which he then became Minister of Defence from 1943 to 1945.
