The term “Il Duce” is an Italian phrase that translates to “The Leader” in English. It was famously used as a title for Benito Mussolini, who was the dictator of Italy from 1922 to 1943. Mussolini adopted this title to emphasize his role as the supreme leader of the Fascist regime in Italy. The term became synonymous with his authoritarian rule and the centralized power he wielded during his time in office. Today, “Il Duce” is often associated with Mussolini and the Fascist ideology he represented.
