La Domenica del Corriere, 2 to 8 October 1938, cover: 'Il Duce che ha salvato il mondo dalla guerra' (Milan)
Colour weekly cover: Mussolini in uniform and peaked cap stands with one arm raised in the Roman salute before a dense crowd of soldiers in steel helmets and tricolour flags, with a giant stone fasces rising behind him. The printed caption reads 'Il Duce che ha salvato il mondo dalla guerra torna tra il suo popolo' (The Duce who has saved the world from war returns among his people). The tell: a four-power conference is reduced to one man's personal act, and the saving of the world is presented as a fact that the viewer is simply shown.
