Résumé A veritable sea of “black shirts” greets Mussolini in the immense Piazza Venezia upon the occasion of the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the March to Rome. From three directions, long columns of hierarchs, militiamen and veterans of the “insurrection” file into the square until 25,000 men are massed before the speaker’s tribune. 20,000 banners and war flags wave a welcome to Il Duce. Hardly does Italy’s Iron Man start his panegyric of Fascism when the rain comes down in torrents, driving all to cover and putting a sudden end to the Premier’s long awaited “report” of the accomplishments of his party during the first decade of its existence.
