"It has finally disappeared the semi-socialist system,

"under which the country He had repeated in the past. "

"Of course, there was a revolution,"

"But it was a revolution typically Italian ".

"A plate of spaghetti".

(Shot)

(In Romagna)

"And the way The change took place "

"He must not arouse Too much apprehension, "

"Just because it was completely unconstitutional ".

Read the ... Read the note of the American ambassador.

The American ambassador. It's fantastic ...

"We have" ... "we witnessed to a beautiful revolution of young people ".

Of young people.

Rossi: "No danger. It is a revolution rich in color "

"And of enthusiasm". - of color and enthusiasm.

A lot!

Crowd: Duce! Duce! Duce!

(Window closes)

I have one thing for you.

What?

Here, these are us here.

Rossi: we took power With four cats in Parliament.

Four cats, We are phenomena, Benito.

Of the phenomena.

Mandm.gp crew present: A Neurosis Release

Mussolini: as far as we have been skilled, never sit on the laurels.

The world admires us, But woe to relax now.

The task we have given ourselves is immense,

We must transform this nation in a state.

The flattery to us must not Not even touching, Cesarino.

- Bravo. Bravo! - Congratulations.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Finally an order man driving the country.

A very pure admiration I surround me, as I like.

Did you say?

I said the task that we have given ourselves is immense,

a moral idea must be given, everyone feels pride

to do their duty For this state.

State that is a custodian of all The story, of all the future.

Ida: miserable coward! Farabutto!

Disgusting bastard! Scappi?

Cowardly, run away? Leave me! Leave me!

I'm Ida Dalser, I'm the mother of his son! Leave me!

Ida: I gave him a son to that Farabutto, I gave him a son!

Cursed crazy.

Everyone loves me, The only one who hates me enter.

Good morning.

Good morning, excellence. Quinto Navarra, to serve it.

Woman: Excellence. President. It is a joy for me ...

- Thank you. - Excellence.

Thanks, thanks, you go to work.

And when would I have chosen her?

I am entrusted by the Kingdom in the service of the Prime Minister.

Ah, good, good.

We can also commission of the ironing staff

of your clothing, if you wish.

Long live the Duce!

Call me the Chief of Police.

The Chief of Police awaits her inside.

Excellence.

Your Excellency, these two Maroni. What happened is unacceptable!

What if that crazy woman had been armed?

If instead of hurling insults at me and absurdity, he had shot me,

thrown a cobblestone or stabbed?

Excellency, I don't know what are you talking about.

The crazy girl in my hotel.

I-I don't know about it,

but certainly now I'll do some checks.

"I'm not aware of that." "I'm not aware of that."

But this is even more unacceptable!

What's more important of my safety?

I'm here for the events in Turin, Excellence.

Turin what?

Bands of Blackshirts attacked and burned down union offices,

labor chambers, hunted down to socialist exponents.

A massacre.

Excellence, with due respect,

from the march on Rome, Your appointment is experienced,

from some fast, like a criminal license.

- But how do you allow yourself? - Certainly, minority fringes.

But they are as possessed from a sense of ...

..the impunity. For the fact that you ...

Damn dogs.

The problem of revolutions is that they are beautiful, liberating,

But then the revolutionaries remain.

Excellence.

Despite they are black shirts,

I think it should respond sternly.

The deaths are not counted. The last one is yet to be identified.

He was tied to a truck and dragged through the streets of Turin.

POLICE CHIEF: A rule of law can't...

You are absolutely right,

I appreciate it very much your sense of the State.

I will take action myself, instantly.

Thank you, Excellency. - Please.

- Thank you, Excellency. - Please.

Excellence...

But, w-what does that mean?

Which you have to find Another job. Congratulations.

How much fuck it takes to iron A pair of pants?

We took the government, Italy He loves me and nobody is up to par.

The country wants to order me, efficiency, security.

President.

This is the second half of the revolution,

The most difficult, the most important.

The second half decides the fate of the revolution.

But here no one understands it.

Well, there are those who sleep, who chatted,

who takes coffee And whoever makes the figga.

And those who shed blood with impunity. Enough now.

ROSSI: Oh yes, comrades, sorry for the wait. So, here we are.

The Head of Government, President of the Council, Secretary of State,

Honorable Benito Mussolini.

(together) Salute to the Duce! Salute to the Duce!

FARINACCI: Head of government, President of the Council,

Secretary of State, Honorable...

FARINACCI: Anything else Benito? (LAUGHTER)

(softly) Don't piss them off.

Fascist comrades.

Comrades, I recommend you take advantage of it

to empty the intestines and the bladder, because the bathroom is worth it.

BALBO: Very soft towels and bergamot soaps.

You have a weakness for bergamot, Duce?

(LAUGHTER)

Fascist comrades, I salute you of government to the backbone

of our revolution.

I declare the first session open of the Grand Council of Fascism.

And now reading of the agenda.

BALBO: And why don't we give it first reading this?

- Because it's not on the agenda. - And we'll have to put it there.

"With the present, it is believed ...

Because the revolution We did it,

But the question remains unanswered.

Which question?

For "who" we did it 'this revolution is?

Three only fascist ministers to the government.

Balbo: the most important ministries you all got you all,

And if we complete the cleaning, there "exemplary" punishments are expected.

Eh, no.

Then, for those who did it 'this revolution is, goods'?

Balbo: For everyone or just for you? - I told you.

Gentlemen, my statements I am a obligatory fact.

I'm head of the government, I can't keep silent in front of a massacre.

Mussolini: Oh no? Oh no?!

And if you had let me perform the agenda to the bottom,

you would have discovered that ...

..Th Bono is named Police chief,

De Vecchi to the direction of the treasure, Cyan to the navy,

And the list is long, gentlemen, The list is long.

There is something for everyone. Everyone. Everyone.

Everyone. Balbo ...

To you ...

.. I know to frame ours Black shirts in a military body

of the state direct Government dependencies.

The fascist militia.

A personal army.

A military body paid by the state, But that responds only to me.

I appoint you general and demand order, discipline and obedience.

Gentlemen, gentlemen, We are no longer revolutionary.

We are all servants of the homeland,

And we will behave accordingly.

Long live Italy!

(together) Long live Italy, Long live fascism, live the Duce!

And this is done.

I want flowers everywhere. Fresh air, again.

Away with these dark and dusty colours,

everything must convey the idea of ​​change.

We will also have to put in a wardrobe here, for him, as it should be.

A cleaning was given to him, but there is still much, much to do.

- Lady. - What?

Oh, are you here?

Yes, by chance, but you carry on, eh,

I'm here in silence anyway.

Let's continue later.

We have to make you worthy of what the world says about you.

The world judges me for what I did.

Woe to sit on the laurels, Benito.

If we are where we are, it is why We have never satisfied ourselves.

If they are where they are, It is because "I" I intuition

which was the right time to give the shoulder.

Nobody better than me knows how much it is fragile what I conquered.

Your gratitude moves me.

To me your fixation For insignificant things.

But what does it take you?

You are the head of the government, the youngest in the world,

Everyone praise you, Can you know what you miss?

I miss that I am this.

Mussolini: socialists, Liberals, Catholics, and us.

- A lump of Moscow excrements. - What do you care?

Liberals and Catholics support you, They do everything you want.

For now.

Italy loves you.

Love comes, love goes.

The moments, if you can't catch them, they flee away.

- There is a need for new elections. - I disagree.

- Patience. - Don't be in a hurry.

We must consolidate your consent, do well.

We will go to the elections when we are sure of winning.

(DOOR OPENS)

I know what I have to do.

Now, with your permission, I would have the Council of Ministers.

Remember the assignment.

- What assignment? - For my husband.

- For your husband... - You promised.

MINISTER: For this reason, we liberals,

we believe that the highway must also connect Turin.

Conceived like this, it will be a memorable work.

MINISTER 2: For us popular people, Instead,

the track should suffer a slight slip to north.

It would be possible, so, Not only to connect ...

So you don't go on!

A new law is needed electoral. Enough with this story

that the seats are divided in proportion to the votes taken.

A beautiful majority law.

Who took the most votes, has an absolute majority,

and who has an absolute majority, decides.

Mussolini: without wasting time.

But it is a normal comparison, democratic.

It is dialectic.

(imitating) It is dialectic. It is dialectic.

It's dialectics, the country can't wait for agreements to be sought,

mediations, compromises. Or not?

If you don't agree, you resign.

Objections?

Well. The session is adjourned.

And the highway?

We'll do it when we can go straight.

It's difficult, Chiletta, sometimes exhausting too, but you know,

you know how I am, nothing brings me down.

(DOOR OPENS)

RACHELE: Benito, can you hear me?

Government commitments call me.

I just want to tell you that they will be the best days of our lives.

(In Romagna)

You always say it. When do you come home?

(Chiusa call)

Benito?

- Thanks, Simone. - Nothing, Mrs. Rachele.

When do you come back?

- He didn't say it. - And what did he say?

Which are the most beautiful days of our life.

Mamma mia, your brother Scotta.

De Vecchi: honorable colleagues,

The proposal of the fascist party is Simple, but effective.

I imagine.

De Vecchi: like all ours initiatives.

Who takes 25% of the votes, It takes 65% percent of the seats.

This is an unacceptable proposal! It's a scam!

To change the story It takes brazenness.

We must violate this which is considered inviolable,

You have to overcome a border that no one has ever dared to overcome.

But we only ask governability.

Please, colleagues, come on!

What you call governability, it is dictatorship!

And then there will be those who shout, who will amazed that it is unheard of,

And we will be able to discuss it.

Matteotti: dictatorship! - Let's discuss.

But at that point, the most is done, The inviolable was violated.

We can talk about how much, of the How, but the border has been overcome.

And a border overcome, It is no longer a border.

De Vecchi: let's discuss.

We refuse to discuss An inadmissible proposal.

Be careful, Matteotti!

- Connect, we form the tones. - Mr. President, did he hear?

This bill is an insult.

You know what's among you And the dictatorship? Parliament!

Eh, well ...

Ohh!

Please!

Ladies colleagues, alarm clock.

Bravo!

This law is death of all of us and you support it.

The death of all of us don't understand it?

No, they don't understand it.

- Catholics want to parade. - But they agreed.

The problem is him.

Mussolini: "There were good times,

in which the Catholics they did not participate in political life,

They didn't even vote.

The pope did not want. Then he came ...

..th of his altar. "

Good morning, Sturzo.

Sturzo, good morning.

Let's start well, how I would like my hands to me.

Sturzo!

Good morning, Mussolini, Did you want to talk to me?

Yes.

Here?

Don't you want witnesses?

Sturzo,

Italy needs of a strong government,

supported by a sales parliamentary majority.

We have a country to be reconstructed

and the threat of the socialist beast,

atheist and materialist, It is not averted.

Let's remember it, the atheist and materialistic threat.

The votes of his party they are needed.

Without your votes, too Your values ​​are in danger.

In principle the Party Popular, Catholics in general,

they are not against insuring the nation a stable government.

So much so that we are doing the sacrifice of supporting...

"The sacrifice"? "The sacrifice"?

I gloss over the sacrifice. But the nature of the problem escapes me.

Mussolini, the vote of an Italian out of four is too little

to secure the majority absolute and take everything.

You see, it's just that every now and then someone forgets it,

out of convenience or out of fear,

but among our values there is also freedom.

Sturzo, Italy asks to be governed,

and asks to be governed by me.

And if he's so sure about it, then What need does he have to rig the cards?

Goodbye, Mussolini.

I'll change your mind!

Do you want to have a priest beaten?

Don't test me, Sturzo. Don't test me.

If your parents are involved in politics, they accept the risks of politics.

MUSSOLINI: Don't interfere.

It can't.

You can't one day say "enough violence",

and then the next day... A priest, then.

Come on, Benito, you can't beat Sturzo.

MUSSOLINI: Thank you, Cesarino. Good thing you're here.

ROSSI: That's why I'm here, look.

But I know it very well myself that can't be done,

otherwise I would have smashed it personally with crucifix blows

that deformed nose.

I would have had him sodomized by all 110 of its deputies.

What are you doing, sitting in my place?

Ah no, for... for convenience, eh, I sorted you the correspondence.

I also open the mail now?

Benito, you save you drying, I know the usual old things, eh.

Beggars and dripping, people who passes out for you relative,

females in love.

This is the incredible effect of power.

Uh.

- They love me, not power. - Safe. Now no.

Margherita pizza. Margherita pizza, I would say, quite pissed off,

He wants a place for his husband.

And then, this. Insists.

- Who is? - Dalser, crazy.

Your ascent has recharged it, feels credited.

MUSSOLINI: I don't owe you anything at Ida Dalser.

ROSSI: To be honest, when we opened the newspaper,

he gave us some money.

Benito...

..how long has it been since you sent them child allowance?

It's not the money he wants. He wants to destroy me.

De Bono must take care of it, let him earn his salary.

I can't afford scandals, Now,

especially the kind they do turn up their noses at the Church.

I have to take care of giving A nice beating in Sturzo.

What the fuck do you do?

Mussolini: "It's really true, The pen injures more than the stick.

It does equally bad.

Discredit, delegitimate,

scandalizes less, And nobody breaks the balls.

The fascists are ugly, bad, torture, Menano, blah blah blah.

Ninth.

The fascists today ... they write. "

The lady is inside.

- In here? - Yes, excellence.

- And what do you do there? - I don't enter there there.

Rachel: Our Father who you are in heavens, your name is sanctified,

Thy kingdom come, thine be done will, on earth as it is in heaven,

give us today our daily bread, forgive us our debts...

MUSSOLINI: Why didn't you call me right away?

How long had he been ill?

Why are you here, can you explain it to me? Where's Bruno?

(IN ROMAGNOLO)

And I believe it, Rachele, it was diphtheria, diphtheria!

Bruno could have died, Bruno could have died!

Rachele, why didn't you tell me Nothing? - Because you're never there!

And just repeat that we are living i best days of our lives.

I didn't want to ruin them for you, the best days of our lives.

Our Father who art in heaven hallowed be your name...

Let's go, Rachel!

We aren't even in church married. We did not baptize them.

We only believed in ourselves ourselves and in our ideals

and look where we are now. Look where it got us!

Right outta here. Get out of here!

I asked you to strike me down, some time ago!

If you exist, strike me down, Because I deserve it!

I'm still here!

(Indistinct voices)

Woman: Duce! Duce!

Hurish fascism! Cheers Mussolini!

Duce! Duce! Duce!

Come down!

I have it I give it, I'll give it to you!

Duce! Duce! Duce!

Duce! Duce! Duce!

He sought it insistently Mrs. Sarfatti.

- Tell her I'm busy. - Already done.

- Ah, and call me red. - Already done.

Rossi: "Sturzo, The enemy of progress ".

Mussolini: So?

What did he say his?

Gray eminence has fallen To more mild advice?

Not exactly, he says that the attacks against him are not needed,

that Catholics are used to to offer the other cheek.

And who is faithful to him, Now it is even more.

As long as there is sturzo, The electoral law does not pass.

Then there may be a margin negotiation. What do you want in return?

Judging by his answer, I think there is no margin.

Why? What exactly did you say?

- Exactly? - Exactly.

Exactly...

.. he said your newspapers ...

.. you can stick them ...

Mh-mh?

..risely, in the ...

In the?

.. they are.

So he said?

No, Deretano is My euphemistic variation.

Ah, and then he said "amen".

Pig ...

There is always someone more who decides, just go to him.

It was also God.

I want to talk to the Pope.

He can tell me.

It is one thing between me and the Pope.

There is no talk like this with the Pope, the Vicar of Our Lord on the ground.

He can tell me.

To the vicar of the vicar ...

There is only one thing worse than the priests, priests dressed as clowns.

- Excellence. - "Eminence".

Eminence.

Your Eminence, since I have been in power, I feel a wound.

A big wound.

Like a phantom limb, a cord umbilical that needs to be sewn up.

I believe...

I believe the state must do more for the Holy Roman Church.

For our Christian roots, for our eternal values,

God, country, family.

And how do you plan to mend it this umbilical cord?

Finding brotherhood again between State and Church.

Articles, Excellence.

Equalization of school fees

between state institutions and religious institutes.

Restoration of the crucifix in the classrooms.

Teaching obligation of the Catholic religion,

foundation and crowning of elementary education

in every degree.

Through chosen teachers by the ecclesiastical authorities.

No more taxes on the heritage of the seminars.

Have we mended this cord?

Let's say that in the meantime I am pleased with the perceive signs of redemption in her,

Excellence.

I suddenly see it changed. Have you seen the light, Mussolini?

Now do you think?

I believe.

I think ... I think, without doubt.

I believe that the categories they no longer exist.

Socialists, Catholics, bourgeois.

Exists...

.. who is with me and who is against me.

And be against me, In addition to being anachronistic,

anti-historical, anti-Italian, antiquated and idiotic and minority ...

..The all these things, It is not convenient.

Because who is with me, He tends not to love who he is against me.

Will you solve the problem?

He must have faith.

(PHONE RINGS)

Yes?

Margherita pizza.

What do you want me to do? I am working.

We will talk tomorrow?

How are you down here?

Huh?

Today is a day, Margherita, we are...

I'm devastated, you can't understand.

Of course I want to see you. Of course I want to see you, come on.

It's just that...

Use the service stairs.

All right? Let's avoid gossip. See you later, bye.

- Out, out! - Your wife?

Let's hope.

Let's hope.

Out, up! Out!

MUSSOLINI: Out. Leave the door open.

- Margherita pizza. - Benito.

But what do you do?

Your suite...

..your smell, you...

..I missed everything.

It's just that I had...

I had a lot to do.

A lot, a lot, a lot?

A lot, a lot, a lot.

And now do you have a minute for me?

Holy shit if I have it.

(IN ROMAGNOLO)

- What the fuck are you doing? - Gross and pathetic.

Avoid me, let me pass on the stairs on duty as if I were a scullery maid.

All this effort to hide myself your miserable adventures.

Look, there's nothing worse

to blame someone of something he did.

I a wife to break me I already have the dick!

Don't compare me to her.

You're right, she makes fewer scenes.

Ask yourself if without me you would have arrived here.

I answer myself "yes".

And you lie. You're lying, Benito.

"I" created you,

I cleaned you, dressed you, educated, recommended.

I taught you how to use cutlery, I bought you shoes.

Without me,

you would still be inciting the stumps to those wretches,

bloodthirsty, orphans of war.

And why did you do it?

Because I love you.

No! Because you wanted it shine with my light.

You confuse me with those that takes you to bed.

No, those ask for less.

You think you can do without me,

in bed and out of bed.

But I'm not like your wife, nor like that other poor thing

who gave you a son, Dalser.

You... you need me.

I leave the door open.

I gave him the job To your husband! Did you understand?

I don't need anyone, me.

- To the Duce. - To us!

- Viva Donna Rachele. - To us!

(In Romagna)

Come on!

Very kind, very kind, lady.

They are fresh.

Thanks the lady, but we cannot accept. Thanks, very kind.

Come on.

Viva Donna Rachele!

(Voltage music)

You never lied again to follow us or call the police.

I just wanted to see the family who took my place.

Does your father love you?

Away.

Ida: Does it get along with mom?

Leave now or I'll have you arrested!

Say hello to your little brothers, Benito Albino.

Let's go, mom.

Rachele... I don't know how it is could have happened.

I know, I know.

Rachele, it will never happen again.

It will never happen... It won't happen never again, Rachele. Promise.

(CALL CLOSED)

Rachel?

Great, great, great news!

What the fuck did I do that De Bono as head of the police?

And what the fuck are you doing?

Oh, what are you talking about?

The crazy one! She went to Rachele with the baby!

Cesarino! See if you can solve this one situation once and for all.

Benito, Sturzo...

Is dead?

(THUD)

I have to think that this "desire",

that I abandon the guide of the party, is a command.

His Holiness expressed a motivated desire.

But His Holiness understands that, by doing so,

it will seem that the Church support the methods

and the inhuman ethics of fascism?

(THUD)

His Holiness understands it or not perhaps this is the last chance

What do we have to contain this man?

Silence, eminence,

This silence of the Church kills More than Mussolini's sticks!

They kicked it out.

(Deep breath)

Honorable gentlemen, I would have preferred entertain this assembly

on foreign policy issues, on our place in the world.

I promise to do this In one day,

If the room does not want to have today The whim of dying early.

The discussion on the reform electoral offered the reason

In the opposition ...

..ing of manifest ...

..ing you move an attack against politics

and political systems of my government.

("Can't Help Falling in Love" Elvis Presley)

There is talk of freedom.

But what is this freedom?

No! Leave it! Leave me! Leave me! Go away!

Is there freedom?

After all, it is a category philosophical-moral.

There are "freedoms". But "freedom" ...

..Non has never existed.

- No! No! - ShH!

I am not, gentlemen, the Despota that is closed in a castle,

equipped with a triple wall,

I turn around the people Without worries about whatsoever

And I listen to it.

No! No! No!

No!

No! No!

No!

("Can't Help Falling in Love" Elvis Presley)

Well, the Italian people, until this moment,

He does not ask me freedom.

"Remove us from the barracks."

"Give us the water, I don't say for the bathroom, "

"But at least to raise our thirst."

"Malaria kills us".

Nobody...

.. I speak of freedom, Statute, Constitution, none!

Nobody.

President Sarfatti.

President.

("Can't Help Falling in Love" Elvis Presley)

This is the moment when Parliament and country ...

.. they are reconciled.

But if this opportunity passes, Tomorrow will be too late.

And you feel it in the air, You feel it in your spirits.

Edda: Dad!

Edda.

("Can't Help Falling in Love" Elvis Presley)

Chilletta, I was wrong.

The most beautiful days of our life They are the ones we have in front of us.

I also have the duty to tell you

than from your vote on the electoral law ...

..Diren, in a way, Your destiny.

No, please! Please, no!

Do not do you, in this ground, of illusions.

From your vote your destiny depends.

Democracy is beautiful,

gives you a lot of freedom, also to destroy it.

To things done, we will abolish it.

Thank you.

No!
