On April 28, 1945, Benito Mussolini and Clara Petacci (his mistress) were removed from a house and driven to the small village of Giulino di Mezzegra on the shores of Lake Como. They were ordered to stand in front of a stone wall at the entrance to Villa Belmonte where both were executed by machine gun fire.
On April 29, 1945, the bodies of Mussolini, Petacci, and three other executed fascists were loaded into a van and moved south to Milan. At 3:00 a.m., the corpses were dumped on the ground in the old Piazzale Loreto.
After being kicked and spat upon, the bodies were hung upside down from the roof of a service station and stoned from below by civilians.
