Chievo captain Sergio Pellissier claims Benito Mussolini ‘did so many beautiful things’ for Italy but that ‘it’s useless to take political sides now’.

Mussolini allied with Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany during the Second World War before his execution in 1945, yet Mussolini felt Italy ‘must take all the positive things from the right and from the left’ as opposed to vilifying the former.

Chievo captain Sergio Pellissier claims Benito Mussolini ‘did so many beautiful things’ for Italy but that ‘it’s useless to take political sides now’.

Mussolini allied with Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany during the Second World War before his execution in 1945, yet Mussolini felt Italy ‘must take all the positive things from the right and from the left’ as opposed to vilifying the former.

“It’s useless to take political sides now: we must take all the positive things from the right and from the left,” he told Rai Radio.

“That way, Italy could also overcome its problems of today. I’m still old-fashioned and I still believe in Don Camillo and Peppone.

“Mussolini? He did so many beautiful things but also as many really bad things. He cleaned things up, built many roads and created so many important things for Italy.

“On the other hand, there are the ugly and disastrous things, like his alliance with the Nazis.”
