1927Best.-Nr. 39394Rome: NP 1927. Original document. Softcover. vg. Folio 13 x 9". Original b/w photographic portrait of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. The photograph is tipped onto thick cardstock which is inscribed to the then French Minister of Justice Louis Barthou: "A S. S. Louis Barthou con cordiale deferente simpatia. Roma maggio 1927 - V" Mussolini signed To his Excellency Louis Barthou with friendly and respectful sympathy Rome May 1927 - Vth year of the fascist era. The actual photograph is an early official portrait of Benito Mussolini who following the March on Rome in October 1922 became Italy's youngest Prime Minister. The portrait measures 8 1/2 x 6 1/4" and depicts Mussolini dressed in civilian clothes with his head down thus affecting an air of authoritarian severity. There is a cruel irony behind this exceptional document. Indeed a few years later February 9 1934 Louis Barthou became the French Secretary of State and as such was assigned to welcome King Alexander I of Yugoslavia during his state visit to Marseille on October 9 of the same year. Within minutes of the King's arrival both His Majesty and Barthou were assassinated by Velicko Kerin a Bulgarian revolutionary with a handgun. One of the bullets struck Barthou in the arm passing though and fatally severing an artery. He died of excessive blood loss less than an hour later. The assassination was planned in Rome by Ante Pavelić head of the Croatian Ustaše a fascist movement that Mussolini had funded for years. Cardstock slightly age-toned and partly creased at upper and lower right corners. Inscription in Italian. Cardstock in overall good photograph in fine condition. NP unknown books

1931Best.-Nr. 001403Roma e Milano: Edizioni "Augustea" Quaderni d"Attualita 1931. Wraps. Good. 107 pp. 21 by 16 cm. A comparatively clear and straightforward explanation and defense of the corporatist theory underlying the Fascist movement in Italy. Arnaldo was the brother of Benito and like him a journalist. This screed came out months before he passed away of cardiac arrest at the age of 46. Before his sudden death he was instrumental in forging a reconciliation between the Fascist movement and the Catholic Church. The preface to this essay is also notable because of its authorship Giuseppe Bottai who was a Futurist who then signed on to the Fascist Party and became one of its most influential proponents. The interior is clean other than a few pencil underlinings. The wraps are chipped browned and brittle and there is a crack all the way down the spine. Una spiegazione relativemente chiara e diretta e anche un argomento sulla teoria corporativa che ha sottoposto il movimento fascista in Italia. Arnaldo Mussolini era il fratello di Benito e come Benito era giornalista. Questo argomento e apparso soltanto i pochi mesi prima della morte di Arnaldo da un attacco cardiaco. Prima della sua morte lui aveva un ruolo centrale nella reconciliazione fra il governo fascista e la chiesa cattolica. La prefazione di questo saggio e notabile perche il suo scrittore Bottai era Futurista che come Marinetti e diventato un membro entusiastico della partita fascista. Della condizione del libro: dentro e pulito tranne che le poche sottolinealizioni. La coperta e scheggiata brunita e fragile. Edizioni "Augustea" (Quaderni d"Attualita) unknown books
