Unknown thieves is one of the most insipid - among many - Italian television that cheer (so to speak) our evenings, and for this propose a little game by a little more serious purpose.

Imagine a television studio and the background that there are characters in a row, though no longer alive; concedetemelo this miracle, I repeat: it's just a joke . And imagine, as in dupe program, that the operator will call one by one and put the questions. Let's start:

writer Bernard Shaw is 13 October 1937 she wrote: the corporate state fascism was the great event of the century ... Things to Mussolini already done it sooner or later lead to a serious clash with capitalism. Is she?

you, Wallace Beery, one of the most famous American actors said, When in 1931 I went with her family in Italy for the film Champion , I showed up often in black T-shirt in honor and sympathy for Mussolini! Mussolini's great! Italy beautiful! Italian very nice! Long live Italy! Long live Mussolini!. was you who said these words?

you, Joseph Prezzolini, great journalist, wrote in the middle of economic crisis in 1934 following a trip to Italy, from the Member U.S.:; Peace in this Italy, this is the first feeling you feel certain that come in from outside and lasts throughout your stay. The roads will not be as big as the Avenues, but no machine guns, the pounds will not be as many dollars, but they are always pounds and will be tomorrow. The rich do not need bodyguards to save the children from abduction. The poor do not have to pay the monthly cut the bad life for their job. The Italian people is renewed. Like no other nation enjoys the landscape, the flowers, the colors of the air. The speeches and comments that you feel, reveal an atmosphere of serenity and health. The Italian people have a more powerful, more dignified, more serious, more polished, better dressed than before, is subservient to the laws and regulations, shall be investigated in general. It is not as rich as other people, but it has never been and I think the American people certainly happier . And she who wrote these words?

Stanley Baldwin, it is she who declared:; I do not think that there are men in Europe except as Mussolini ;?

you, Austen Chamberlain, who covered her first political office plan, she herself said in 1933: My unconditional admiration and personal affection for the Duce whose size is growing every day before the world.

The Roman genius played by Mussolini, the greatest living legislator. He thought the only lasting treasure for the Italian people as he conceived it. If I were Italian I am sure that I would be the party of Mussolini . Mr. Winston Chuchill, she just wrote this review?

Cyril Clemens, these are his own words in 1969: Mussolini Consider Honorary President in memoriam of Mark Twain American Society of this institution which, since 1923, has elected its Honorary premier international Benito Mussolini ?

you, President Columbia University, delivered in 1932, these words; You can bring Mussolini to Cromwell. Fascism is a system of government absolutely gorgeous?

is just the Daily Express who in 1930 wrote: Mussolini, the great architect of the renewed greatness of Italy, this mediator of Savoy with the Vatican, smiling and serene followed the procession of kings and princes, with the front surrounded by a laurel invisible?
