Parlo con Bruno 2
The Duce was deeply cut by his son's death and showed all is pain for the tragic end of the favorite son in a book called <<PARLO CON BRUNO>> that means I talk with Bruno.
Is a very human book, written dirctly by Mussolini, who was a an excellent journalist and writer, the evidence of the neverending love of a Father for his son: as we all know a father should never survive to a son !
Is a common "old" book here in Italy and is non particulary rare or expensive (from 20 to 50 euros, depends from the edition).
Doesn't have a great historic value but a big human value.
Hope it helps.
Here is an italian edition
Cheers

Thank you very much for all your detailed explanation about the Death of Bruno.
I knew already that Mussolini got very schocked with the death of his predilect son.
Very interesting the book, that I didn´t know about their existence.
