25 Luglio
Poster from the Italian Social Republic by artist Gino Boccasile.
25 Lugio, meaning 25th of July, signifies the fall of the Italian Fascist regime in 1943. The events that took place on the 25th of July, including the arrest of Benito Mussolini, were a culmination of what many classify to be parallel acts of treason against Mussolini by Count Dino Grandi and King Victor Emmanuel III. The two traitors are thought to be represented by figures on the left and bottom-left of the statue, hacking away at the pillar of Fascism on which the existence of the state rests.
Mussolini would go on to be rescued by a daring special operation undertaken by Waffen-SS commandos, known today as the Gran Sasso raid. Mussolini would go on to revive the Fascist regime in northern Italy in the form of a successor state known as the Italian Social Republic, from which this poster originates.
