Benito Mussolini's Last Speech at Teatro Lirico, Milan, December 16, 1944
Benito Mussolini addressed fascist loyalists of the Italian Social Republic at the Teatro Lirico in Milan, Italy, on December 16, 1944. The address is commonly known as his last speech. The Italian-language compilation sets audio from the speech over heavily degraded black-and-white war footage. It shows infantry advancing across open ground, soldiers among scrub, crowds of men looking upward and people raising their arms or hands. A later shot shows a bald man in a dark uniform gesturing at a lectern while another man stands beside him. |

Re: Benito Mussolini's Last Speech at Teatro Lirico, Milan, December 16, 1944
Oh alright, I'll translate what I can! The title is simply "Fascism - the last speech of Benito Mussolini" "Noi vogliamo difendere, con le unghie e coi denti, la valle del Po (grida: «Sì!»); noi vogliamo che la valle del Po resti repubblicana in attesa che tutta l'Italia sia repubblicana. (Grida entusiastiche: «Si! Tutta!»)." "We want to defend, by tooth and nail, the Po' Valley" (the large plain covering Piedmont, Lombardy and Veneto) ("Yes, all!" cries the crowd) "Già si notano i segni annunciatori della ripresa, qui, soprattutto in questa Milano antesignana e condottiera, che il nemico ha selvaggiamente colpito, ma non ha minimamente piegato." "Already there are signs of revival, above all here in Milan, this forerunner and leader, that the enemy has struck savagely, but hasn't swayed us." "Camerati, cari camerati milanesi! È Milano che deve dare e darà gli uomini, le armi, la volontà e il segnale della riscossa!" "Comrades, dear Milanese comrades! It is Milan that must give, and will give, the men, weapons, and determination needed to save the day!" Here's the whole speech, in Italian: http://www.mussolinibenito.net/disco...i%20milano.htm |
