    Might be worth a visit if I'm ever in Rome.

    Hmm, not even finished, no basic confort, this reminds me of Saddam's last hiding place more than anything else. If I were him I'd be hung before I'd go in there (easy one) ......

    Not what I expected; on so many levels.

    It's a status thing. A dictator must have a bunker. And a mistress. And a big hat.

    I expected at least a cappuccino machine, a pasta maker, extra virgin olive oil, good crusty bread, chianti, a goose down bed, and Laura Antonelli !!!!

    Skipper is right, looks like Saddam's place . I hear Giuseppe is trying to get a lease on it!!

    The bunker was rather, I don't know, pedestrian. Given Mussolini's delusions of grandeur and his evocation of the Roman Empire, I expected more, Oh well, thanks for the look.

    I guess he just didn't plan as well as Adolf when it came to bunkers...
