National Fascist Party leader Benito Mussolini was identified by Fascists as Il Duce of the movement and became a reference to the dictatorial position of Sua Eccellenza Benito Mussolini, Capo del Governo, Duce del Fascismo e Fondatore dell'Impero ("His Excellency Benito Mussolini, Head of Government, Duce of Fascism, and Founder of the Empire") was established in 1925 (Founder of the Empire was added in 1936), by Mussolini which he personally held until 1943.
