The central park in Latina south
of Rome, Italy's 'city of the Duce', is set to be renamed after
slain anti-Mafia magistrates Guiovanni Falcone and Paolo
Borsellino, removing the name of Mussolini's brother Arnaldo.
Rightwing parties including Brothers of Italy are set to
protest against the renaming, which will be presided over by
Lower House Speaker Laura Boldrini on Wednesday, the 25th
anniversary of Borsellino's assassination by Cosa Nostra two
months after his friend and colleague Falcone.
Boldrini has been in a flap this week over the fake news
story that she called for the demolition of Fascist-era
buildings because they allegedly hurt the sensibilities of
Italian partisan groups.
Latina, 60 km south of Rome, is full of such buildings having
been built by Mussolini after he drained the Pontine marshes in
1932.
