The idea to march in Rome had already been circulated by the legionaries Fiume, but also the Fascists had simulated a "march" to Ravenna, at the helm of Italo Balbo. The decision to march on Rome was taken during the gathering in Naples, October 24, 1922. They were chosen the commanders of the various columns (Perrone Comrades, Bottai and Igliori, commanded respectively by 4000, 8000 and 2000 Fascists, from Civitavecchia, Tivoli, and Monterotondo) and at the end of parade through the streets of the city Mussolini proclaimed: "Either the government or we will take it, falling on Rome.
On 27 October the Facta government resigns, while the Fascists begin the march towards. During the march without resistance take over the post office and telegraph, of great benefit to the connections of the various columns. Even the railway stations were occupied, allowing the fascists to "march" in the interruption of train lines.
In the night between 27 and 28 October, Facta asked the king to sign a state of siege, so as to trigger the Royal Army, but was refused. In fact, Vittorio Emanuele III heeded the advice of Federzoni, known nationalist, and General Armando Diaz, who proposed a deal with Mussolini.
Mussolini had been in Milan to await the development of events, and reached Rome in the night in a sleeping car. On October 28, presented himself to the King who gave him task of forming the government.
The government was formed October 30, 1922, while the teams marched through the city. The Government was composed of a coalition of fascists, nationalists, popular, democratic and social nittiani, Giolitti, salandrini, independent pro-Fascist. It was not a real coalition government, as Mussolini had not consulted the parliamentary groups, but had applied directly to individuals. Il Duce, as well as being Head of Government, assumed interim ministries of Interior and Foreign Affairs. The fascists went ministries of Justice, Business of Worship, Finance, Treasury, Service and Pensions, free land. Secretary to the Prime Minister was appointed Acerbo, the author of the electoral law of 1924.
The Chamber voted confidence with 306 votes in favor, 116 against and 7 abstentions.
