The cult of the Duce is the first book to explore systematically
the personality cult of the Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. It
examines the factors which informed the cult and looks in detail at
its many manifestations in the visual arts, architecture, political
spectacle and the media. The conviction that Mussolini was an
exceptional individual first became dogma among Fascists and then
was communicated to the people at large. Intellectuals and artists
helped fashion the idea of him as a new Caesar while the modern
media of press, photography, cinema and radio aggrandised his every
public act. The book considers the way in which Italians
experienced the personality cult and analyses its controversial
resonances in the postwar period. Academics and students with
interests in Italian and European history and politics will find
the volume indispensable to an understanding of Fascism, Italian
society and culture, and modern political leadership. Among the
contributions is an Afterword by Mussolini's leading biographer,
R.J.B. Bosworth. -- .
