Giulino di Mezzegra is a frazione of the Comune of Mezzegra, in the province of Como, which has passed into history because it is the place where Benito Mussolini and his lover Claretta Petacci were executed. The execution was carried out by local resistance fighters (partigiani), who had captured the dictator at Dongo (often erroneously considered to be the place where the execution actually took place).
