Claudio Anastasio has quit as
president of the 3-I public-sector software-development agency,
government sources said on Tuesday, after reports of him quoting
Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini in an official email.
Daily newspaper La Repubblica reported that Anastasio explicitly
quoted the speech Mussolini made in January 1925 to take
political responsibility for the murder of Socialist opponent
Giacomo Matteotti the previous year in an email to the agency's
board.
Anastasio was appointed to the position by the current
government in December.
