First sentence: One of the most characteristic self-created images of Benito Mussolini-alongside the fiery orator of the Palazzo Venezia balcony, the general on horseback inspecting the troops or parading at their head, the land tiller winning the grain war, and the paterfamilias surrounded by his wife and children-is the image of the Duce wrecker, wielding his pick lustily on the roof of some structure in a condemned neighborhood.
