Non-trial For The War Crimes
He was never prosecuted for the war crimes by the Allies because the British government with the beginning of cold war saw in the fellow-Fascist Pietro Badoglio's post-war political career a guarantee of an anti-communist post-war Italy.
Graziani in the early 1950s did some political activity with the neofascist Movimento Sociale Italiano, and become the "Honorary President" of this Italian party in 1953. In January 1955, at 72, he died of natural causes in Rome.

Famous quotes containing the words war and/or crimes:
“This people must cease to hold slaves, and to make war on Mexico, though it cost them their existence as a people.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... how have I used rivers, how have I used wars
to escape writing of the worst thing of all—
not the crimes of other, not even our own death,
but the failure to want our freedom passionately enough
so that blighted elms, sick rivers, massacres would seem
mere emblems of that desecration of ourselves?”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
