Within hours of the Allies’ liberation of Rome, local Fascist leaders were rounded up and brought in for trial by armed members of the Italian resistance. At the same time, the infamous Regina Coeli prison was stormed as well, and while the prison guards stood aside and watched, all of Mussolini’s political prisoners were released.
To those involved, the events became known as the day of reckoning.
