He and his mistress Clara Petacci were caught by communist partisans trying to escape Italy into Switzerland on April 27, 1945, where they had planned to travel via plane to Spain. The partisans put him on a train back to comune Mezzegra along with 15 other fascists. He was executed by shooting there the next day.
Mussolini's ultimate legacy was not a desirable one. After being shot, his corpse and that of Petacci were thrown in the back of a truck and taken to Milan. He was strung up in the Piazza Quindici Martiri (Literally, "The Square of Fifteen Martyrs"; named for 15 anti-fascists hung there just weeks prior to Mussolini's fall from grace) by a meat hook, where his lifeless body was shot, stoned, and spat upon. As you can clearly see, the people hadn't an ounce of love left for him. Some even speculate that it was the news of Mussolini's horrific death (and consequent parading) that aided in Hitlers' decision to commit suicide.
