Giorgio de Blangis

Giorgio de Blangis was an Italian bishop who was associated with the National Fascist Party. The brother of Duke Paolo de Blangis, the brothers were extremely wealthy and sadistic. In 1944, during World War II, they tortured and abused several youths at a palace near Marzabotto, committing grave crimes against humanity.

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 Blangis and his compatriots were shot over 50 times by a firing squad posthumously and left to hang in the streets of Rome.
