Mussolini and King Alberto Emmanuel
1923

King Alberto Emmanuel catches
Mussolini smiling and a Royal grin on the King
appears.
Ordinarily the lens catches Premier Mussolini "on
parade", and looking "Old Roman" as he possibly
can: but this time King Emmanuel , his mustache
uplifted by a broad and most genuine grin, must
have told a good one just as the camera snapped -
the leader of Fascismo is smiling most humanly.
