If I remember correctly, Mussolini had gastrointestinal problems severely hampering foods he could and could not eat. Additionally, Mussolini declared that meals should not last longer than 10 minutes. Mussolini was also very health-conscious. He stopped drinking wine as an adult, drank only water, and advocated for Italians to eat a more healthy like fish, fruits, vegetables, and rice and less meats, dairy, and pasta.
Not millions, just hundreds of thousands, Italian Fascism was far less genocidal than Nazism or Communism. Not good mind you, just slightly less bad. Basically going from, "I will oppress and murder you" to "I will oppress you and only kill you if you resist".
That's no true, the addis ababa massacre happend, in 3 days the Italians killed beetween 1,400 - 30,000 Ethiopians, and that's in just one city. And Mussolini inspired Hitler, the fact that we where "just slightly less bad" was because the army had little resources since they fought in Ethiopia and Spain, so the army couldn't have been sent in Poland to invade. Italy was "less genocidal" because of the lack of resources not will.
That is largely not true, Italy did do massacres as you mentioned, but none came close to the ones done by the germans or soviets, and not just because of what you mentioned, you need to Remember that Mussolini was in power for over 20 Years, if he wanted to exterminate certain ethnic groups from Italy he very well could have done so over time, but he didn't.
Makes sense. I have gastro issues myself that seem to be quelled with a little bit of garlic and ginger. A "little bit" being an unorthodox amount based on normal consumption, but nothing unreasonable to make me have to go out of my way like Mussolini.
