On 24 July 1943, Count Dino Grandi and the Grand Council of Fascism voted overwhelmingly to ask Victor Emmanuel (King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy) to resume his full constitutional powers-in effect, a motion of no confidence in Benito Mussolini. The next afternoon, the King - who had been planning to get rid of the dictator himself for some time - summoned Mussolini to the palace and dismissed him as Prime Minister in favour of Marshal Pietro Badoglio.

What did the Italian people call Mussolini?

This explanation comes from Wikipedia under the heading of Benito Mussolini. However, I hope you will forgive me but I thought you should know that the Americans and Italians also irreverently called him "The Fascist Pig".***Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini, KSMOM GCTE (29 July 1883 - 28 April 1945) was an Italian politician who led the National Fascist Party and is credited with being one of the key figures in the creation of Fascism. He became the Prime Minister of Italy in 1922 and began using the title Il Duce by 1925. After 1936, his official title was "His Excellency Benito Mussolini, Head of Government, Duce of Fascism, and Founder of the Empire".[1] Mussolini also created and held the supreme military rank of First Marshal of the Empire along with King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy, which gave him and the King joint supreme control over the military of Italy. Mussolini remained in power until he was replaced in 1943; for a short period after this until his death, he was the leader of the Italian Social Republic.
