### The Black Prince and Operation Gladio
Junio Borghese had commanded the [[Decima Flottiglia MAS]], a naval regiment that fought for Mussolini's Nazi puppet state, the Republic of Salo, in northern Italy until the end of the Second World War. Unlike other fascist collaborators who were executed at Piazzale Loreto alongside Mussolini, Borghese was chaperoned to the sanctuary of Vatican City by [[OSS]] operative [[James Angleton]]. He subsequently became the primary OSS and later [[Central Intelligence Agency]] asset in establishing the Italian branch of [[Operation Gladio]], a stay-behind network designed to suppress left-leaning political movements through sabotage, propaganda, and terrorism. This intelligence protection allowed Borghese to live on as a figurehead of Italy's postwar fascist movement, giving him the resources and connections necessary to attempt an open seizure of power in 1970.
