Carnera last week stuffed his Gargantuan frame into a new uniform, the gaudiest permitted a member of the Fascist militia, and took plane to Rome. For some reason, probably because it had never seen an important prizefight, Rome was wildly excited. Nobody seriously expected much of Uzcudun, the 34-year-old Basque woodchopper whom Carnera had defeated three years ago.

...fight was held in the beautiful Piazza Di Siena, an outdoor amphitheatre in the centre of Rome's public gardens. Il Duce was there in a ringside box with his two sons.

Already head of the army, police and gendarmerie, he took over the headship of Prince Ernst Rüdiger von Starhemberg's "White Fascist" Heimwehr. In payment he made Prince von Starhemberg deputy chairman of the Patriotic Front. Thus he prevented the hot-headed Prince from going off half-cocked and had the Heimwehr men to help him break any strikes the Socialists may call. He dissolved the Socialist singing society, the Sängerbund...
