I wonder why the Italians won't give it back?

I remember my parent's generation talking abour Mussolini's invasion of Ethiopia. They were still shaking their heads in disbelief even 10 years after the war. What was that all about?

Because Italy's reputation (at least as far as the 20th century goes) precedes her and she doesn't want to be reminded of that fact.
