Anteo Zamboni
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anteo Zamboni (April 11, 1911 - October 31, 1926) was a 15-year old anarchist who tried to assassinate Benito Mussolini in Bologna on October 31, 1926, by shooting at him during the parade celebrating the March on Rome.[1]
Zamboni, whose shot missed Mussolini, was immediately attacked and killed by nearby fascists.[2] The event was used as an excuse by the fascist government to abolish liberties and dissolve the remaining opposition parties.[3]
Two streets in Bologna bear his name: "Mura Anteo Zamboni" and "Via Anteo Zamboni". In a film about the assassination attempt by Gianfranco Mingozzi, Gli ultimi tre giorni (1978), Zamboni was played by Franco Lotterio.[4]
