Blatant hoax, no Google hits outside false positives and Wikipedia mirrors. Especially the train-killing anecdote sounds like an obvious joke. Speedy deletion deprodded purely because the article is 10 years old (which does not seem a great argument). Even if not a hoax, there is no claim of notability whatsoever, as the subject seems like a random fascist who achieved nothing in his life, but given the tone of the article especially in its early version, the lack of sources, the lack of Google hits, the history of its IP creator who later tried to create a further hoax through WP:AFC , there is little doubt it is a hoax.

 * Delete Having spent some time looking for any reference for this individual, I have found none. Fails WP:V. 24.151.10.165 (talk) 17:14, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete -- Even if it is not a hoax, he seems completely NN, save as then perpetrator of a murder of a nameless railway employee. Since this was (I think) before Mussolini took power, I doubt that even he would have approved of murder as the penalty for a train being late.  Peterkingiron (talk) 18:21, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Even after Mussolini took power, there was never such a thing, i.e. death penalty for late train drivers! That's just a joke based on the Fascist propaganda myth "Mussolini made the trains run on time" (eg. see or ). Cavarrone  19:49, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
