Article was nominated two days after its creation. It is long enough, has no copyvio issues, is sourced to a high standard. It is generally written neutrally with contentious claims attributed. Both hooks are short enough and feature in the text with an appropriate inline source. I must say that I have a preference for ALT0: its fact is just great and speaks to the eccentricity of some of these fascist leaders. I'm going to cross out ALT 1, not because there is anything wrong with it but because I suggest that ALT0 be used. I've wondered whether it is accurate to say that the bones "were to be taken" to the redoubt, given that it's not explicitly stated that Mussolini approved of the plans. However, I think the formulation is fine since the entire thing was Pavolini's plan and it's shown that the bones were part of his scheme. Onto the image of Dante. The image is free, appears next to the relevant section in the article and is of a good resolution. Nom's QPQ is confirmed. Good to go. Modussiccandi (talk) 08:27, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
