Cesare Mori
Cesare Mori (22 December 1871 – 5 July 1942) was a prefect ("prefetto") before and during the Fascist period in Italy. He is known in Italy as the "Iron Prefect" ("Prefetto di Ferro") because of his iron-fisted campaigns against the Mafia in Sicily in the second half of the 1920s.
Mori was regarded as a Fascist, and wrote strongly of his admiration of the effectiveness of both the Fascist Party and Mussolini several times in his self authored accounts
