Our so-called Society people, instead of going in for sport, persist in holding conversations in their drawing rooms, generally in a foreign tongue. They engage nurse maids, personal maids and governesses of all nationalities except Italian. They play poker and bridge with the accompanying drinks, certainly not Italian brands!
Italian Fascist general (1889-1945)
(August 18, 1889 – April 29, 1945) was a prominent leader of prior to and during World War II. In 1931, his career reached its peak when he was made secretary of the PNF. He was appointed to the position primarily due to his unquestioning, fanatical loyalty to Benito Mussolini. As secretary, Starace staged massive parades and marches in favor of Mussolini and proposed anti-Semitic racial segregation measures. On April 29, 1945, after a summary trial, he was sentenced to death. Starace was taken to the Piazzale Loreto and shown the body of Mussolini, which he saluted just before he was shot. His body was subsequently strung up next to Mussolini's.
