Bruno Fornaciari
Bruno Fornaciari (* 1881 in Sondrio , † 1953 in Rome ) was an Italian politician and the first fascist prefect of Milan . He was Vice-Prefect in Florence and Venice , Prefect in Trieste and Minister of the Interior for a few days in the Badoglio government .
Fornaciari studied law and entered the administration in 1903. After working in Pavia and Genoa , he was appointed to the Direzione generale della sanità pubblica in 1909 , so he was jointly responsible for public health. In 1923 he became temporarily vice-prefect in Venice and Florence. In May 1926 he joined the Fascist Party . In 1926 he became prefect in Trieste. In July 1929 he went to Rome as director of public health, which he left again in 1930, since he was posted to Milan as prefect, where he remained until 1935.
When Pietro Badoglio , who as Marshal of Italy held the highest military rank, overthrew Mussolini , he dissolved the Partito Nazionale Fascista with effect from August 6, 1943 . Fornaciari, although a high-ranking fascist himself, should contribute his knowledge of the fascist organizations in order to be able to carry out the dissolution as efficiently as possible. Therefore he was installed as Minister of the Interior. Fornaciari, however, did not act efficiently against the fascist structures. Even under heavy pressure from the government, he only dismissed 20 of the 90 prefects and transferred two more. His indolence cost him the trust of the king, so he had to resign on August 9th. When the Allies increased their bombing, Badoglio entered into secret ceasefire negotiations with them. The resulting surrender of Italy was announced on September 8, 1943, whereupon the German army occupied the country to prevent it from taking the side of the Allies.
