Corriere della Sera. Milan, 27 May 1940.
Exhibit Image

This issue of the Corriere, one of Italy's leading dailies, reports another "grandiose" spectacle in the Duce's honor, featuring young Fascist gymnasts and the quasi-military Balilla. The leader himself entered the arena to a clamor of trumpets; the "manifestation" was also attended by ambassadors of the Axis powers.
