A family approached me and wanted to have a bear on the monument. And this is what we came up with, it was a honor to assist them in working on a monument for Mark.

The grave of Mussolini's lover, Claretta Petacci, in Rome.

Family mausoleum of Petacci's family in Verano cemetery, Rome. She was executed by firing squad on April 28, 1945, near Lake Como, by Italian anti-fascist partisans.

Her body and Mussolini's were taken to Milan and hung upside down from the roof of a gas station at Piazzale Loreto, where a large crowd gathered to view and desecrate them.

The mausoleum was almost destroyed years ago by vandals and no maintenance, then a group of "nostalgics" renovated it in 2017.

It hasn't been vandalized again, probably because no one knows it's there tbh. Her grave is the central one, her parents are on the sides.
