Predappio

Mussolini is buried in Predappio, and his mausoleum is a local tourist destination, as well as a site of pilgrimage for Italian neo-fascists.From its origins (possibly Roman) until the 1920s, Predappio was a rural town of modest size, situated on the hills of Forlì.Along the valley, about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from Predappio, the town was known as Dovia (probably a corruption of the local Roman road Duo Via, Two-Way).After a landslide hit the town in the winter of 1923/24 and left many people homeless, the government decided to build a bigger, more prestigious township to celebrate the birthplace of Mussolini, following the architectural dictates of the emerging Fascist Italy.[8] The mayor, who was standing for re-election as a member of the centre-left Democratic Party, stated that the aim of the council's decision was to have people remember a "fundamental piece of [Italian] history" so that "Predappio would become a place for reflection – cutting the town from the hands of those who want to misuse it.
The tomb of Benito Mussolini is a tourist destination in Predappio.
