Best Answer

Because the partisans wanted to humiliate his dead body Some sources say that there was a tradition of hanging thieves upside down. The partisans choose Milan as the place to disply his body along with 15 other executed Fascists because that was the heart of the Fascists regime in the latter days of the war AND because it was the site where the Fascists executed some partisans.
