Aldo Curval was a National Fascist Party official during World War II. He was extremely wealthy, and Curval and three other sadistic fascist dignitaries had fourteen Italian youths kidnapped and brought to a palace near Marzabotto in 1944, where Curval and the other dignitaries tortured them mentally, physically, and sexually during the "120 Days of Sodom". Curval was scrawny, weak, and crude, and he enjoyed torturing the captives.
The four dignitaries attempted to flee Italy when the Italian Social Republic collapsed, but were captured by Italian partisans, recognizing them as leaders in the National Fascist Party, and executed by hanging. The bodies of Curval and his compatriots were shot over 50 times by a firing squad posthumously and left to hang in the streets of Rome.
