About the Item

Early 20th century fairground figure In the form of Benito Mussolini this early 20th century hand carved French fairground knockdown figure is in original untouched condition. With its original balance bracket still in place. This example would have been accompanied by other political leaders of the time, placed in a row and the public would have had the opportunity to throw wooden/sand filled balls at them in amusement at a fairground stall of sorts. Benito Mussolini was an Italian nationalist and the founder of Italian Fascism. He ruled Italy from 1922–1925 as Prime Minister, and from 1925–1943 as il Duce, the Fascist dictator. Mussolini's Fascist takeover of Italy was an inspiration and example for Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in Germany.
