the fascist movements in italy and germany in the 1920s and 1930s made extensive use of world war i memorials to communicate a political message. war memorials were a key part of the italian fascist government's programme, with memorials set up in the name of the fallen and the fascist revolution. local fascist organisations made extensive use of the war memorials and associated ceremonies to promote loyalty both to italy, and to the revolution. the government promoted the "cult of the fallen hero", stressing that the war dead had played a vital role in transforming italy's position in europe and transforming history. the fascist leader mussolini was less enthusiastic, however, about the tomb of the unknown soldier, which he felt was associated with the former regime; he discouraged its use, although remained sensitive to its symbolic importance to various parts of italian society. military fly-pasts were added to the armistice ceremonies and the tomb itself was moved in 1935, to make it easier to use the memorial in military parades.
