Memories of Mussolini


The historic tower and the glassed-in bar area at Villa Fiordaliso.
Not far from Lake Garda, one of the lovely Northern Italian lakes near the Swiss border, is a stylish gourmet restaurant that incorporates a 7-room boutique hotel. Few people dining there realise that late in WWII this was the headquarters of the German general in charge of Nazi forces in Northern Italy, and that one floor was occupied by Mussolini's mistress. On the last day before being captured and killed by Italian Partisans, Mussolini spent the night here with his mistress Carla before trying to escape to Switzerland. 1100 word article describes the ambience and the history of this very unusual jewel-box hotel and restaurant.
