Hmm... I believe he came to power in the mid-1920s. 1924?

Perhaps, but the clue says "re-established."

And since it's the 24th now and I should post a new clue I'll go ahead and answer it.

The year was 1943. [Phantom Girl]

Oh. I thought the "re-established" referred to the fact that Mussolini claimed to be re-establishing the Roman Republic, complete with its symbol, the fasces. I guess the "Northern Italy" part should have clued me in, though.

I don't know the year (guess 1964) But the song is that Halloween classic "The Monster Mash" (It was a graveyard smash!)
