Italians may help Germany get its trains to run on time. Opening up national markets has worked wonders for European railways. The Economist 6 August 2026 https://www.economist.com/europe/2026/08/06/italians-may-help-germany-get-its-trains-to-run-on-time Did Mussolini really get the trains running on time? Say what you like about Mussolini, he made the trains run on time. That was the famous last excuse for Fascism, conveying the idea that while dictatorship might not be very nice, at least it got things done. But did Mussolini really do it? Did Il Duce, in his 20 years of absolute power, really manage to make the railway service meet its timetable? The answer is no. Like almost all the supposed achievements of Fascism, the timely trains are a myth, nurtured and propagated by a leader with a journalist's flair for symbolism, verbal trickery and illusion.
