In Rome you can still find Mussolini’s obelisk and some fascist inscriptions here and there. Italians definitely don’t celebrate Mussolini these days (well, some do, but you get the point).

> "some fascist inscriptions"

are hardly comparable to thousands of streets named after him, thousands of bridges wearing his enblem, and statues still standing.

Again "celebrating Napoleon" as in "in the background" as in "a foundation of the winning side's narrative"
