Fascist Grand Council (Italy) Founded on 15 December 1922, it was set up by
Mussolini to disguise his own authoritarian control over the Italian state. In particular, it served as an important instrument of patronage, as the ambition of loyal supporters was satisfied through a seat on the council. Nominally the highest organ of the
Fascist state, it had little executive power and could do little against Mussolini's will. Nevertheless, its mere existence pointed to the fact that Mussolini was never in control of his own party in the way that
Hitler was in total control of the German
Nazi Party. This was fateful for Mussolini at the meeting of the Fascist Grand Council on 24–5 July 1943, when for once it did act against Mussolini's will, voting with seventeen against seven votes to support
Grandi's motion for Mussolini's dismissal. Arrested the following day, Mussolini was eventually liberated by the Germans and became head of their puppet state of
Salò.
