The Complete Life of Italo Balbo

Italo Balbo was Italy's second greatest hero of the Fascist era. Everything had gone right for Balbo and it was perhaps mostly thanks to him more than anyone else bar Mussolini that the PNF was even able to get to power. As a genius man manager and organizer Balbo was instrumental in drumming up support in the early days and making the movement what it was. Later Balbo would dazzle the world as he took the Regia Aeronautica from nothing to something and led daring aerial cruises to the United States, Brazil, Spain and the Soviet Union. Mussolini was so jealous of this success that he had Balbo sent essentially into a Libyan Exile. Here, however, his star continued to shine and Libya was turned into Italy's Fourth Shore, an integral part of Italy itself rather than just a colony. Colonies rocked up in their 10,000s and thrived and it was purely thanks to Balbo. His story, however, came to an early end. This is the complete life of Italo Balbo.

Balbo's Monument still stands here in Chicago. It is quite the curiosity of tourists these days.

"Giovinezza, giovinezza,
primavera di bellezza,
nel fascismo è la salvezza
della nostra libertà."

Balbo is an interesting figure, particularly due to his opposition to the Pact of Steel.

[razorguy]

A vid about Rodolfo Graziani would be also interesting, since he played an important role in consolidating Italy's colonial empire
