Mussolini then started the March on Rome, a show of strength aimed at making him dictator.

Mussolini's influence in propaganda was such that he had surprisingly little opposition to suppress. Nonetheless, he was "slightly wounded in the nose" when he was shot on April 7, 1926 by Violet Gibson, an Irish woman and sister of Baron Ashbourne.[10] In January 1927, 15 year old Anteo Zamboni attempted to shoot Mussolini in Bologna. Zamboni was lynched on the spot.[11] Mussolini ... survived a failed assassination attempt in Rome by anarchist Gino Lucetti,[12] and a planned attempt by American anarchist Michael Schirru, which ended with Schirru's capture and execution.[13]
