Benito Mussolini was the editor of Avanti, the left-wing newspaper of the Italian Socialist Party. He wrote an article entitled "State Assassination" in which he denounced the repression.[3] He continued to mount a press campaign against the government, but was then arrested and tried for provoking the soldiers to disobedience and insulting the army. However, he was acquitted by the jury.[4] The piazza was subsequently renamed Piazza VI Gennaio (6 January square) to commemorate the event.[3]
