  TIME Magazine Archive Article -- One Little Fascist Vote -- Jul. 08, 1957   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Last week, in a performance that left even connoisseurs of political agility openmouthed, Zoli announced that he was, after all, prepared to swallow one little Fascist vote.
While members of Italy's Chamber of Deputies listened in hostile silence, Zoli glumly reminded them that it was not his fault that he was Premier of Italy.
But when President Giovanni Gronchi, unable to find anyone else, coolly declared that Zoli was still Premier, "I felt," burbled Zoli into the silence, "that I had to accede to so high an authority." So ended Italy's longest political crisis (52 days) since the one that preceded Mussolini's accession to power.

 Predappio
Firstly Benito Mussolini, the fascist dictator who ruled Italy from 1922 to the end of World War II and Adone Zoli, a catholic anti - fascist, who played a very important political role during the early days of the Italian Republic and also held office as Prime Minister in the 1950s.
The historical heritage of Predappio, however, is not only founded on these two political figures, the high cultural value of its architecture further enriches this quaint market town.
The family mausolea of both the Mussolini family and the Zoli family are to be found here.

To the untrained eye, Predappio looks like any Apennine village, with the usual group of cantankerous, vulgar old men gathered round the fountain in the piazza (it's just as well that few UK visitors can understand what the quaint locals are saying).
But not only is it the birthplace of two 20th-century prime ministers - Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini and Christian Democrat Adone Zoli - it is also in The Guinness Book of Records as the home of the world's longest bruschetta.
The loaf in question measured a whopping 210 metres.

To be fair, the local tourist office did not pretend that Mussolini wasn’t born here.
In fact, its leaflet mentioned that this was also the birthplace of Adone Zoli, a former Prime Minister well known for his anti-Fascist credentials.
And then it went on to describe various Mussolini sites, plus a few mediaeval sites and local gastronomy – as though everybody comes here to enjoy local cheese and piadina (unleavened bread, specifically with tomato and mozzararella cheese, or otherwise with potato and turnip filling), topped with a glass of sangiovese.
