[edit] Pezzati Fabrication
I have to say that I am irked by the information that Suze Rotolo apparently claims in her book that Peter was a believer in Mussolini and Fascism. Never once did I ever hear Peter say anything favorable about Mussolini or Fascism. He'd talk about art, literature, architecture, music, travel and history and like his father could speak half a dozen languages. He was the closet thing to a genius I've ever encountered.
If true that Suze would say what is claimed, giving the impresssion that he of was a follower of Mussolini and a Fascist, I'm angry and perplexed. Peter always was very nice to her and spoke well about her. Why would she suggest such a thing and propogate such a myth to readers? I realize that many hippies believed anyone who didn't subscribe to their political views was a Facist but this is just too much.
Peter served in the U.S. Army during W.W. II illustrating manuals and painting war posters. He even was heard on Boston radio supporting the war effort. Her suggestion that he was a "believer" in Fascism and Mussolini is an out and out fabrication, which makes me wonder what else she isn't truthful about in her book.
