Common agenda. Fascism and Hitlers ideals mix well. Mussolini became leader of Italy in 1922. Hitler came to power later and so he looked to Mussolini for ideas and also a mentor in formulating his miliary. On 14 June, 1934, Hitler made his first trip to meet Mussolini to discuss "international policy". Mussolini put on a show of his military might to impress Hitler. However, Mussolini did not want Germany to annex Austria and share a common border with Italy. He succeded in this for a few years. Some say that Hitler was inspired to use the stiff-armed "Nazi salute" from observing Mussolini's troops using the Roman salute. On the other hand, Mussolini tried to emulate the German "goose step" march after his visit to Germany in 1937. After 1937, Hitler was in command of his own destiny and did not look to Mussolini for direction or inspiration. In World War 2 Mussolini was just a nuisance - going to war, getting a sound hiding and then asking Hitler for help.

I assume you're referring to World War II . Mussolini ruled Italy around that time and was BFF's with Hitler until Hitler spilled beer on Ben's new creased pants which led to Italy invading Germany. Hitler was assassinated by an unnamed Gondola paddler (with his paddle, we assume, however the autopsy was not clear) in 1948, meaning Adolf was unable to attend the US release of the first Volkswagon. RIP Al, may there be Beetles in heaven. <3

tl;dr: Because Italy.

What did the Italian people call Mussolini?

This explanation comes from Wikipedia under the heading of Benito Mussolini. However, I hope you will forgive me but I thought you should know that the Americans and Italians also irreverently called him "The Fascist Pig".***Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini, KSMOM GCTE (29 July 1883 - 28 April 1945) was an Italian politician who led the National Fascist Party and is credited with being one of the key figures in the creation of Fascism. He became the Prime Minister of Italy in 1922 and began using the title Il Duce by 1925. After 1936, his official title was "His Excellency Benito Mussolini, Head of Government, Duce of Fascism, and Founder of the Empire".[1] Mussolini also created and held the supreme military rank of First Marshal of the Empire along with King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy, which gave him and the King joint supreme control over the military of Italy. Mussolini remained in power until he was replaced in 1943; for a short period after this until his death, he was the leader of the Italian Social Republic.
