The following year, a horse monument was inaugurated in the main square of the Libyan capital in honor of Mussolini. Its base read: "To Benito Mussolini, peacemaker of the people, redeemer of the land of Libya, the mindful population and exhibitions where the Sword of Islam flashed consecrate in the sign of the Lictor a loyalty that challenges the destiny."<ref name=pdf/>
The sword, decorated in [[arabesque]], equipped with a double-edged straight blade and with a hilt and solid gold friezes, had been achieved from the art firm ''Picchiani e Barlacchi di Firenze'' on the order of Mussolini himself.
