Can someone please forgive my ignorance and explain why is Mussolini upside down? Thanks

following his execution on April 28th, 1945, his body was hung upside down from a girder in the middle of Piazzale Loreto in Milan for people to insult, throw things at, etc etc

No problem, it's because he was hung upside down after being shot to death by a communist Italian partisan
